Learn science
What is science?
To understand science, consider the steps of the scientific method: make an observation, ask a question, form a hypothesis, make a prediction from that hypothesis, test the prediction, and use the findings to make new hypotheses and predictions. Science encompasses all of the knowledge we have acquired about the world through this process, as well as the process itself.
