Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. In its more restricted contemporary sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science—the application of scientific research to specific human needs—although the two are often interconnected. Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested. From Wikipedia under the

Nothing outlandish, I would basically like to setup a play area for her where she can play with sand, water, do some mini science experiments with everyday objects but not making the basement too messy. How can I setup one without making it a construction project using concrete etc... Thanks for your suggestions Asked by Cheers2U - Thu Jun 26 14:53:57 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Just have laminate flooring, or cover floor in washable blankets-like ones used for camping! This way mess doesnt matter. You can have cork boards on the walls for her to stick pictures and things up-also stops mess getting on walls. You can have things like: -as you said sand and water tray-maybe some boxes with buckets, spades, jugs, sponges, pipes (you can buy from DIY stores) etc so she can choose what to use and combine equipment. -Nature area: maybe plants or things she's collected from outside so she can see science in the natural world-eg growth of a flower! Or you can make a worm farm or ant farm to watch. -Living creatures-similar to above-maybe fish or giant land snails for her to watch and care for. -HAve messy play such as… [cont.] Answered by Bittersweet22 - Thu Jun 26 16:49:18 2008 What project on computer science can i do for the exhibition?
Q.

Asked by Jinti - Thu Apr 6 05:49:00 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. The best project would be one that interacts with the people. Maybe a USB camera connected to a computer and voice output. The camera might read the number of fingers a person holds up then says "three". Hardware and software both, plus fun interaction is always a winner! MIKE Answered by mike - Thu Apr 6 12:08:40 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Science" Science in the broadest sense refers to any system of objective knowledge.
