Introduction to Science

A systematic way of acquiring knowledge about the natural world through observation and experimentation, aiming to explain and predict natural phenomena.

A testable explanation for a phenomenon or a problem, which forms the basis for experimentation.

A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a large amount of evidence repeatedly tested and confirmed.

A descriptive statement or mathematical equation that reliably predicts phenomena under specific conditions, simpler and more focused than theories.

The standard system of measurement used in science, including units like meter (m), kilogram (kg), and second (s).

Evaluation of scientific work by experts in the same field to ensure quality and validity by identifying errors and biases.

The study of matter, energy, and their interactions, including areas like classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.

The study of matter and its properties, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, and the chemistry of living organisms.

The study of life and living organisms, covering cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, anatomy, and physiology.

The study of the Earth and its environment, including geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy, and environmental science.
