What is science?
-
A: The goal of science is to learn, observe, experiment, and innovate. Doing this makes the world constantly improve and change, often for the better.
-
A: Science is different because unlike other ways of learning, science is true hard facts. It is not astrology, where there is no real evidence. In science, evidence must be sound to back up a claim.
-
A: Scientists gather evidence supporting an idea by gathering information through observation and experimental testing.
-
A: Scientists need to be good communicators because of the evidence they may come across. If they keep information to themselves, it could possibly be dangerous for other people. For example, if a scientist discovers nuclear radiation in a city that people are living in, the scientist would need to tell the city for the sake of the people.
-
A : Science can help us in our everday lives by causing us to observe things that we may not have seen before, or just to help us innovate. Also, without science, there would not be research against deadly diseases, we wouldn't have electricity, and we would also have to go to great lengths to have basic needs.
-
A: "Laws describe
the patterns, or state what happens. Theories explain how and why those patterns exist."
-
A: "Data is a collection of measurements or observations. Evidence is data that has been analyzed
and interpreted to support a scientific claim."
Q : Why do scientists use models, and why do all models have limitations?
A: " Models are representations of ideas or processes, and they can
take the form of physical models, conceptual models, or computer simulations." Models have limitations because while they represent the real figure, they will never act in the same way as the figure will.
-
A: "A good scientific question asks how or why something happens in the natural world and is
answerable based on evidence that can be collected through observation or experimentation."
-
A : Scientific ideas sometimes change because understanding of the idea or the evidence behind it may vary over time.
