WHAT EXACTLY IS SCIENCE?

• Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and
analysis.

• It seeks to understand how the universe works, from the smallest particles to the largest
galaxies.

• Science is based on evidence and facts rather than beliefs or opinions.

• The scientific method is a key process in science, involving steps like asking questions, forming
hypotheses, conducting experiments, and drawing conclusions.

• It is divided into major branches, such as physical sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry), life
sciences (e.g., biology, ecology), and social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology).

• Biology is the study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, and
evolution.

• Physics examines the fundamental laws of nature, such as gravity, energy, and motion.

• Chemistry focuses on the properties and behavior of matter, including atoms, molecules, and
reactions.

• Astronomy explores celestial objects, like stars, planets, and galaxies, and the universe's origins.

• Earth science studies the planet's physical structure, climate, and natural processes, such as
earthquakes and weather.

• Scientific discoveries often lead to technology. For example, understanding electricity led to the
invention of lights and computers.

• Science improves our quality of life by providing solutions to problems, such as medical
treatments for diseases.

• It is constantly evolving. New discoveries refine or replace old ideas, like how Einstein’s theories
expanded on Newton’s.

• Scientists collaborate globally to share knowledge and advance understanding.

• Science relies on skepticism and critical thinking. Findings are tested repeatedly to confirm their
validity.

• Ethics play a key role in science, ensuring that experiments and applications do not harm
humans, animals, or the environment.

• Science is interdisciplinary. Fields like biochemistry, environmental science, and robotics


combine knowledge from multiple disciplines.

• It helps predict future events. For example, meteorology uses science to forecast weather.

• Science explains natural phenomena, like why the sky is blue or how plants make food through
photosynthesis.
• It is both a body of knowledge and a process. The knowledge includes facts and theories, while
the process is how scientists investigate and learn.

• Science fosters curiosity and creativity, encouraging people to ask "why" and "how" about the
world around them.

• It underpins modern society. Innovations in transportation, communication, and healthcare all


stem from scientific research.
