Science Definition
The word science comes from the Latin "scientia," meaning knowledge.
How do we define science?
According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of
science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge
covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as
obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the
physical world."
What does that really mean?
Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses
observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural
phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of
knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word
science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge
gained from it.
