Well I don't know exactly. But I believe it is not mere knowledge. It is a methodology for discovering new things, verification of hypotheses through experimentation. Making models of reality.
It is an attitude, we don't know anything for sure, we just have varying degrees of confidence in laws and theories depending on how well and how long they have worked. Everything is subject to question and change. Science doesn't answer the why questions, just the how questions.

Science, in the broadest sense of the term, refers to any system of knowledge attained by verifiable means. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on empiricism, experimentation, and methodological naturalism, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research.
