    Science is defined as the organized body of knowledge focused on establishing useful explanations about the world. It is both a process and product. As a process, the scientific method allows hypotheses to be tested and proven or disproven. As a product, established scientific theories provide foundations for new, more complex ideas to be built upon. Science is also systematically organized into branches that study different areas of nature, such as the physical sciences, biological sciences, and other applied sciences. Science aims to establish factual understanding through evidence and experimentation, unlike superstition which relies on imagination and belief. Improvements in technology often result from applying scientific knowledge and using the scientific method to solve problems, leading to innovations that make life easier, faster and

    The MEANING

    OF SCIENCE
    SCIENCE DEFINED
    * From Latin word “scientia” meaning “knowledge”.

    Science is regarded as a product and a process, an organized


    body of knowledge, and a systematic field of study focused on
    establishing useful explanations about the world we live in.
    Science as a product and a process

    Science is a process because the scientific


    method makes ANY hypothesis (or theory)
    open to be proven against. ... Science is a
    product because without those historic
    steps, a YET MORE COMPLEX IDEA
    couldn't have appeared. Example: without
    Newton's laws of motion, Einstein would
    have nothing to build upon.May 8, 2015
    Science as a body of knowledge

    Branches of Science

    The Physical Sciences Other Sciences The Biological Sciences

    Chemistry Botany
    Biochemistry

    Physics Zoology
    Microbiology

    Earth Science Anatomy


    Ecology

    Meteorology Genetics
    Science as a systematic field of study

    Example
    ANATOMY : the science which deals with the understanding of the
    parts and function/s of each part to understand the body as a
    whole.
    Example:

    cell tissue organ organ system organism

    neuron nervous tissue brain nervous system


    Science vs Superstition

    Superstitions are self-imposed selfish beliefs, something imaginary yet


    unimaginable disbelief, or mere beliefs. But science – the most well-
    known and popular word of this era. Science is believed to be
    something realistic which even makes the unreal real; the unachievable
    achievable. (Google Search,Mar 12, 2020 )
    How does science lead to improvements in
    technology?

    Other Examples:
    • Instant noodles- just add water and after a few minutes it can be eaten
    • Video calling or video conferencing to communicate with many people
    • Traveling to places through airplanes
    • Searching the internet to gather information
    • Distance surgery using robotics controlled by a surgeon from a different
    place
    Question:

    • How has technology helped make everyday life


    lighter, easier and faster?
    • Is this a good thing?
