SCIENCE

Science  is an orderly and systematized  body of knowledge  based on observations, reasoning and experimental verification  .The term Science   has  been derived from  a Greek verb ,scire , meaning to know and latin noun  scientia, meaning knowledge. The  scientific  knowledge  is gatherd  by observations ,inquiry and investigation .The main thing  that distinguishes  a science from the  ''humanities'' , such as art an literature, is the use of experiments to answer  questions.                                                                                                                                                          There is nothing mysterious about scientific reasoning or experiments. They  are merely logical ways of trying to  solved problems as are used by business people , historians and each of us in everyday life.We do not need  specialized  scientific  training or knowledge  to decide  whether  conclusions are justified  from the data presented .We can  requests further tests of atheory  that  does not appear  to be well  supported by  evidence , and we can agree  or dis agree  with  predictions from a theory .                                                                                                                 Significance of Science                                                                                                                                                  Science has assumed a great importance  in modern society .Discoveries  and inventions  of science  are  inseperable  from human life an welfare . Their application   in day today problems  provides solution for them . Many  decisions  on such subject as population control ,pollution standards , protection of wildlife  and immunization    .The  body of scientific knowledge is already  so vast that  everyone cannot understand  it all .However ,as a  responsible citizen  , we can  follow some studies that bear on public issues .By doing  so, we can apply scientific reasoning  to decide our own positions  on these issues.                                Ramification of Science                                                                                                                                              When  we use the term 'Science' without a descriptive adjective , we usually  refer to a natural science  which deals  with natural phenomena  ,in contrast  to social science , such as  sociology , which  deals with human relations ,or an abstract science, such as mathematics , which deals with abstract  relations or an  abstract science ,such as mathematics ,which  deals with abstract relations.                                                                         The natural sciences are classified as physical  sciences  and biolgical  sciences . The physical sciences primarily  deal with  non-living matterand include subject as physics , chemistry geology and astronomy. The biological sciences  relate to living matters , living subject or living matters , living subjects or living organisms.                                                                                                                                                            Scientific  Method                                                                                                                                     Knowledge , imparted by any science , include facts, laws and principle of nature .The knowledge about thias is acquired  by a typical procedure  which is sometimes called scientific method or  method of science  Sequence of steps  of this procedure are broadly classified as [1] observation [2] hypothesis[3]  experimentation[4]  conclusion and sometimes [5] resting.
