What Is Science?

A system of knowledge about the physical, chemical, and biological universe and the things that occur in it is called science. It is an objective observation that explains the basic rules of nature. Another approach to defining science is as the information gained through practice. The full form of science is Systematic, Comprehensive, and Inclusive Network of Concepts and Experiences. Science is the study of knowledge and understanding of the natural and physical world. The word is derived from the Latin word 'scientia', which means knowledge.
