What is science?

The concept of 'science'

QUESTION 01

What do we know by 'science'?

Science is a school subject that we are forced to study but has no practical application in our daily lives.

Science is everything that we cannot verify but that we believe and, furthermore, knowledge is unquestionable.

Science is the process by which we learn about the natural world through observation, experimentation, and verification.

CORRECT!

Everything we consider science must be based on evidence and follow the scientific method:

• Observation
• Form a Hypothesis
• Experimentation
• Discussion
• Verify

Scientific answers change when new evidence is discovered that disproves what we thought was fact. For example, people believed that the earth was flat, but as scientific instruments improved, more precise observations were made that showed that the earth is spherical, just like a ball.
