Here's my view: "Science is learning by asking questions and looking for things that give the answers." Probably not good -- I'd try to find some way of explaining "objective evidence to support or disprove a hypothesis", but that's way too much for a seven-year-old. The key point is that science relies on objective evidence rather than authority or opinion.

Science is to understand how things happen as they do, and sometimes why.
Is this simple enough for a 7 years old?

It's about asking questions like "Why is the sky blue?" and "How do fishes breathe underwater?" then working out the answers.
Lots of people have done this. Scientists work things out - we understand rainbows.
