Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge that is capable of resulting in a correct prediction or reliable outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique, technology, or practice. In today's more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. It is a "systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about the world and organizing and condensing that knowledge into testable laws and theories". This article focuses upon science in this more restricted sense, sometimes called experimental science, and also gives some broader historical context leading up to the modern understanding of the word "science." From the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, "science" had more-or-less the same sort of very broad meaning in English that "philosophy" had at that time. By the early 1800s, "natural philosophy" (which eventually evolved into what is today called "natural science") had begun to separate from "philosophy" in general. In many cases, "science" continued to stand for reliable knowledge about any topic, in the same way it is still used in the broad sense in modern terms such as library science, political science, and computer science. In the more narrow sense of "science" today, as natural philosophy became linked to an expanding set of well-defined laws (beginning with Galileo's laws, Kepler's laws, and Newton's laws for motion), it became more common to refer to natural philosophy as "natural science". Over the course of the 1800s, the word "science" become increasingly associated mainly with the disciplined study of the natural world (that is, the non-human world). This sometimes left the study of human thought and society in a linguistic limbo, which has today been resolved by classifying these areas of study as the social sciences. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do i get good marks in science even when i hate it? Q. I hate science. My primary and secondary school teachers have never made me interested in it. It is always confusing and they always deduct so many marks for using a wrong word and u have to explain every detail even for a one mark question. U also need to aply wht u learn and i am bad at that. I always get low marks for science. There is sooo much memorising to do!!! I hate it yet i want to do well in it. Many pple say tht math and science are related. I love math but hate science. How can it be so? I normally get A+ for math. Any science teachers or excellent science students can help me? Asked by Yuppy kid! =P Roxzzz.... - Wed May 2 06:23:23 2007 - - 7 Answers - 2 Comments A. find some interesting facts in science and find thing like experiments to make you interest in it... i used to hate it before.. it just takes the will to have interest in it.. and if you don't understand you can ask the teacher to make it all easier for you Answered by PcH - Wed May 2 06:59:57 2007 What science class should i take my senior year? Q. I have three choices: physics, environmental science, and aquatic science. Im a junior at this moment. I heard that physics is alot of math and Im descent at math but im already going to take Precal and that already seems to much for me. The other two classes are supposed to be easy. Wat do you guys suggest? Thanks for answers. Asked by Jassiel - Fri Feb 19 23:24:02 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Woo Hoo! for Environmental Science!!! Great jobs being funded everywhere for that major! Aquatic science could be cool, too. Answered by Dave - Sat Feb 20 00:49:24 2010 What is the best science course to take for non-majors in your mind?
Q. I typically am really bored of science, I think it totally useless for my life. For instance I don't care what the density of mercury is, or how many moons Jupiter has, none of those things affect my daily life. By course, I mean like Chemistry, Biology or Microbiology, Physics, Earth Science, etc. I have almost graduated from my sophomore year of college I just need a science class. Asked by shaolt2002 - Sat Mar 31 03:08:10 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. well first off, college science courses aren't about memorizing dumb facts like the # of moons jupiter has..thats more hs stuff.. so dont worry about that.. I'd say definitely Bio. it has the most 'useful' information if youre not going into a science field or have no interest in science whatsoever...i found Astronomy to be really interesting though Answered by melody - Sat Mar 31 03:25:11 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Science" ScienceFrom Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, search There's real poetry in the real world.
