Method:
Science is generally based on the falsifiablity of a theory.
Hypothesis - Test - Retest - confirm outcome - compare to hypothesis, retest.
Philosophy generally deals with things cannot be falsified. Generally just a series of hypothesis, with no actual way to test them and reliably get the same outcome over and over.

Philosophy is the natural sciences. The people that started natural science were, well lets see, the natural philosophers of ancient Greece. Thales, Anaximander, Miletus, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, and Democritus were all natural philosophers. Philosophy is science and science is philosophy, there is no difference. Philosophy is literally in the air we breath; without it the air wouldn't even be there much less be air.

Philosophy is about going beyond nature, though starting about nature, and natural science is about deep understanding of nature the inevitable cause & effect phenomenon.

philosophy exists to make intractables tractable.
If you burned every philosopher, there would still be philosophy at the edge of every natural and human science.

philosophy is the thought and natural science is the body that sustains that thought and vice versa
