General Knowledge: Science Concepts

Scientific Method: A systematic approach to inquiry involving observation, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and conclusion.
Hypothesis: A testable prediction based on observations.
Theory vs. Law:
- Theory: A well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world.
- Law: A statement that describes an observable phenomenon.

Physical Science:
- Focuses on non-living systems.
- Includes physics (study of matter and energy) and chemistry (study of substances and their interactions).
Life Science (Biological Science):
- Focuses on living organisms and life processes.
- Includes biology (study of life), ecology (study of interactions between organisms and their environment), and genetics (study of heredity and variation).
Earth Science:
- Study of Earth and its components.
- Includes geology (study of the Earth’s solid materials), meteorology (study of the atmosphere and weather), and oceanography (study of oceans).
Formal Science:
- Deals with formal systems and logical reasoning.
- Includes mathematics, statistics, and computer science.

Energy Conservation: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Cell Theory: All living organisms are composed of cells; the cell is the basic unit of life.
Evolution: The process through which species change over time through natural selection and genetic variation.

Albert Einstein: Developed the theory of relativity, revolutionizing physics.
Marie Curie: Pioneered research on radioactivity, first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Charles Darwin: Formulated the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Microscope: Allows for the observation of small objects and organisms.
Telescope: Used for observing distant celestial objects.
Spectrometer: Analyzes the spectrum of light to determine properties of substances.

CRISPR Technology: A revolutionary gene-editing tool that allows for precise modifications to DNA.
Artificial Intelligence: Increasingly utilized in scientific research for data analysis and modeling.
Climate Change Research: Ongoing studies on the impact of human activity on global climate patterns.

Ecosystems: Interactions among organisms and their environment.
Biodiversity: Variety and variability of life forms in an ecosystem.
Sustainable Development: Meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet theirs.

Scientific Method: A structured inquiry process that includes observation, hypothesis creation, experimentation, and deriving conclusions.
Hypothesis: A predictive statement that can be tested through experimentation and observation.
Theory vs. Law:
- Theory: Provides a comprehensive explanation of a natural phenomenon based on substantial evidence.
- Law: A concise description of observable phenomena, often expressed mathematically.
