What is Science? The Ohio Academy of Science

What is science? Science is a systematic method of continuing investigation, based on observation, hypothesis testing, measurement, experimentation, and theory building, which leads to more adequate explanations of natural phenomena, explanations that are open to further testing, revision, and falsification, and while not “believed in” through faith may be accepted or rejected on the basis of evidence.

What is science? Science is the study of the natural world that includes observable and measurable phenomena within the universe.

What is an hypothesis? A scientific hypothesis is a declarative statement within the realm of nature in the broadest sense of this term. The proposition is therefore true or false.

What is a theory as used in science? A theory as used in science is not a weak, tentative, or abstract explanation of natural phenomena. A Theory is the current, highest level of scientific explanation or confidence that explains and predicts the future appearance of natural phenomena.

Why is science important? Science is more than a collection of what humankind knows. Science is a tool to objectively understand the ever-changing, natural world in which we live.
