So, you’ve been reading (and hopefully enjoying) my posts about science – great, but what exactly is science? The truth is, there isn’t actually a perfect definition. Is it a subject you learn in school, something only understood by the most intelligent of people, or even just a term for everything. What do YOU think – what is science? Leave a comment with your interpretation, and in a follow-up post, I’ll list my favourites, as well as my definition of what science is. I want everyone – and I mean everyone to take part – no excuses!
Science Questions Answered: What is science? Part 1
sciencetasticblog 
Science is a way of searching for the truth about the way the world works. It is based on uncertainty. We don’t know anything for sure but we can come up with ideas about how things work. These ideas must be tested against evidence collected from the real world. If an idea passes lots of tests, we can be confident (but never certain) that it is true.

Blimey you’re a hard task master! Hmmm I’ll have to think about this one 🙂 For me science is seeking to understand the world around us, near and far, including ourselves and the other people in it. Its usually done with the motivation of making things better – but that doesn’t always work. I include the Arts and Humanities in my definition of science as they are important ways of understanding the world and ourselves as well. Ha!

Wonderful question Callum (by the way what is your real name??)
Science according to me is about studying and inventing stuff and experimenting to discover new particles and properties of a living organism or even a physical object. It has 3 broad categories called Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Each one of them further advances the study in its related topics.
Hope that helps.
