what is the defination of science?

Question

define science?

Answer 1

In the broadest sense, science (from the Latin scientia, 'knowledge') refers to any systematic methodology which attempts to collect accurate information about the shared reality and to model this in a way which can be used to make reliable, concrete and quantitative predictions about events, in line with hypotheses proven by experiment. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research.[1] Science as defined above is sometimes termed pure science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of scientific research to specific human needs.

Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines: the natural sciences, which study natural phenomena (including biological life), and the social sciences, which study human behavior and societies. A principal characteristic of these groupings is that they are empirical sciences, which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under the same conditions.[2]

Formal science, e.g. mathematics and logic, is sometimes classified as the third group of science, having both similarities and differences with the natural and social sciences.[1] It is similar to other disciplines in that it involves an objective, careful and systematic study of an area of knowledge; it is different because of its method of verifying its knowledge, using a priori rather than empirical methods.[3] Formal science, especially mathematics, is vital to the sciences. Indeed, major advances in mathematics have often led to critical advances in the physical and biological sciences. The opposite has also happened. Certain mathematical approaches are indispensable for the formation of hypotheses, theories, and laws,[4] both in discovering and describing how things work (natural sciences) and how people think and act (social sciences).

Answer 2

Science is a branch of knowledge, based on Facts and Figures, Supported by experiences and experiments and Proved in laboratory and life-cycle. There are some skills associated with science. Something one can do easily - other find it difficult or get different results. Overcoming this difficulties by defining way to do it - by protocols and procedures or with the help of instruments is Technology.

Answer 4

These are some of the many topics that are studied in the field of environmental science. Overall, environmental science is the field of science that studies the interactions of the physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment and also the relationships and effects of these components with the organisms in the environment.

Answer 5

An organized system which collects and logically presents reliable knowledge about the world around us. Note that the information in a particular body of science must arise from consistently testable and verified explanation or hypothesis.

Answer 6

science is defined as the sum total of all the knowledge gained by man through experimentation and observation

Answer 7

Science is the study the properties of our world.

Answer 8

The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment

Answer 9

SCIENCE is a branch which merges the real facts around us and maths in a understandable way.

Answer 10

Any system or method that seeks to explain the reality of what surrounds us using the scientific method as its main tool.
