The Realm of Science

Science is a Way of Life

     Science is the hallmark of progress in the realm of naturally occurring matter and energy. It is the way one has to get at the truth or at least, as close to the truth as possible.

Scientific Methodology

     Science is basically a collection of knowledge and information that is obtained by observation and testing of natural world, in a logical and orderly manner, and its interpretation. Hence, the basis of science is its orderly, step-wise procedure called scientific method. It is a frame of mind that allows the investigator (the scientist) to objectively analyse an occurrence.

Scientific Temperament

     The study of science inculcates a scientific attitude in our approach to various aspects of life. It helps us to develop a scientific temperament as a result of which we acquire certain characteristics.

Tools and Techniques in Biological Studies

     The study of various aspects of life activities requires the use of certain techniques and analytical instruments. Physical and chemical sciences have helped scientists in developing some tools and techniques with the help of which biologists have been able to get a clearer insight into the life processes. Let us look into some of these tools and techniques.

Summary

     Science is the way by which a person gets at the truth or at least as close to truth as possible. The basis of science is its orderly stepwise procedure - the scientific method.
