What is Science?

Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show. Richard Feynman

Some Assumptions of Science : The universe is regular and predictable (We can know it). Matter is made from atoms. Physical properties are determined by the type of & arrangement of atoms. Energy/mass are conserved in a closed system. The laws of nature are the same throughout our entire universe.

Science Vocabulary Laws: Behavior that is always repeating. Ex: Hammers, books, masses all fall to center of Earth – Obey Newton’s Law of Gravity. Theories: Explanations or Models of why behavior occurs: Ex: Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, Schrodinger Theory of atom. Scientific Method is used to build Laws and Theories.

Physics nature and properties of matter and energy. Search for the fundamental laws underlying all physical behavior. Chemistry the investigation of the properties of matter & the ways in which they interact, combine, change; and the processes to form new substances.
