Essentials of Science
Science is the study of the universe around us and within us, natural phenomena, and solutions to problems. Scientists want to observe natural phenomena or events to understand the mechanisms that cause them and explain how or why those natural events occur.
In addition, science attempts to solve problems by using a methodology based on both empirical evidence and the analysis of that evidence.
Natural science, namely Physics, Chemistry & Biology, attempts to explain the universe around us and ourselves by using the scientific method to observe, record, collect data, hypothesize, predict, experiment, and share results with peers within the scientific community, not specifically in that order.
Each of these branches differs in their specific subject matter or questions about the universe around us and even in the ways and degrees of knowing about topics or questions. These branches can be broken down further.
Why Learn Science
So why study Science? And why is getting more students interested in studying science at university so important? Firstly, science helps our understanding of the world around us. Everything we know about the universe, from how trees reproduce to what an atom is made up of, is the result of scientific research and experiment.
Human progress throughout history has largely rested on advances in science. From our knowledge of gravity to cutting-edge medicines, students of Science have shaped our modern world. All of these advances can trace their origin back to individuals learning about science as students. That’s why it is in the interests of wider society to promote Science as a subject at schools; it ensures the next wave of progress in all of the fields that affect our daily lives.
