The Sciences

Discoveries in science in recent years had profound impact on our society. We are now able to communicate easier with the use of the Internet and cellular phones. People are continually developing new medicine to treat diseases that are once fatal.Science is the basic foundations of the knowledge. It offers answers to some of the important questions in life.The word science comes from the Latin word "know". If we call superstitious another mistaken ideas unfounded beliefs, we call science "founded beliefs". In science is based on careful observations, exact measuring and accurate records.Science has many branches. If you are studying in plants you are studying botany. If you are interested in what things are made of, you are studying chemistry. If you want to learn how humankind start, you are studying anthropology.Some of the branches of the science are old. Astronomy is a very old science. Greeks are eager to study to find out about faraway stars. Each body of knowledge we think of separate science is made of facts and principles.For example "Jupiter is a planet". It is a fact. a planet is a spherical body much like the earth., which travels in an almost circular path around the sun. Another example is "Every body in the universe attracts due to gravitational pull. It is a fact too but it is one that can be used to explain why the planets do not run away from the sun. This we call principle because it helps explain why planets do not run away from the sun, which is a very large body and exerts a very great pull.Here is another example but this time there is a difference this time. The earth and all the other planets is the sun's family. Many scientists believe were formed from the vast shape of could gas and dust that are once surround the sun. This idea is a theory. There is evidence in favor of it but there is no way to of proving it. Ideas that start out by being theories are sometimes clearly shown to be true.In our class with Madamme Erlinda Gallo. We learned hat there is four groups in science. The first is Natural Science suggested that science contribute to our knowledge about our natural surroundings. Examples are biology, zoology, botany, geneticist and etc. The second is Physical Science suggested that science is when you need an effort to get what you want to aim. Examples are chemistry, mineralogy, physics and etc. The third group is Social Science. This suggested that science deals and relationship of living things in groups or societies. Examples are sociology, archeology, and psychology. The last group is the applied science. It is the application of scientific knowledge to practical purposes.Science is the scientific body of knowledge based on facts and principles and observation. That uses some scientific principles in order to answer some questions to celestial phenomenon.Life in this day and age is moving in a faster rate because of discoveries in science.
