SCIENCE

Science is the study of the natural world through observation and experiment. A scientific explanation uses observations and measurements to explain something we see in the natural world.

Science is derived from the latin word "Scientia" meaning "Knowledge". It's full meaning is:

S-systematic and

C-comprehensive

I-investigation and

E-exploitation of

N-natures

C-causes and

E-effects

Why Science courses are best for you to study.

Beyond the potential scientific breakthroughs, there are individual benefits to learning science, such as developing our ability to ask questions, collect information, organize and test our ideas, solve problems, and apply what we learn.

Scientific knowledge allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions: both individually and collectively. Because its products are so useful, the process of science is intertwined with those applications: New scientific knowledge may lead to new applications.
