 Science Facts

Science is a systematic undertaking that creates and organizes

information about the Universe in the form of verified
explanations and predictions by scientists. Science can be
further divided into three branches: Physical Science, Life
Science, and Social Science.
ETYMOLOGY AND HISTORY
★ The term science is derived from the Latin scientia, the present
participle of the verb scire, which means "to know." Its origins may
be traced back to the European proto-indo *sik-, which means "to
cut."
★ Humans have always been curious, wanting to know why things act
the way they do and attempting to correlate observation with
prediction.
★ For example, from prehistoric times, humans have been observing
the skies and attempting to make sense of seasonal variations in the
positions of the sun, moon, and stars. KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
★ Around 4000 BCE, the Mesopotamians attempted to explain their
discoveries by claiming that the Earth was at the center of the
Universe, with the other celestial bodies around it.
★ Humans have always been fascinated by the nature and origins of
the Universe.
★ But they weren't only about astronomy. The extraction of iron, which
resulted in the Iron Age, is a chemical process established by early
metallurgists who had little comprehension of the science involved.
★ Nonetheless, they were able to optimize the extraction through trial
and error. Previously, copper and tin were removed (resulting in the
Bronze Age), and subsequently, zinc.
★ It is unclear how they found it, but it is possible that they were
created by observation and experimentation in a manner similar to
that utilized by today's scientists.
★ Early humans also discovered that some plants might be used to
cure illness and disease, and herbal medicines were produced, some
of which are still employed by current pharmaceutical firms to provide
leads for new synthetic pharmaceuticals.
★ The Greeks were the first to try to
establish the theory underlying their
findings, with individuals like
Pythagoras focusing on a
mathematical picture of the Universe.
★ Similarly, Aristotle and Plato created
logical strategies for investigating
their surroundings.
★ The Greeks were the first to propose that matter was made up of
atoms or fundamental components that could not be broken down
any more. KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
★ But it wasn't just the Greeks that advanced science. India, China, the
Middle East, and South America were also developing science.
★ Despite having their distinct cultural perspectives on the world, they
each produced items such as gunpowder, soap, and paper on their
own.
★ However, it wasn't until the 13th century that most of this scientific
work was gathered at European colleges and began to resemble
science as we know it today.
★ Initially, progress was quite sluggish. It took until the 16th century, for
example, for Copernicus to revolutionize (literally) the way we look at
the Universe and for Harvey to present his views on how blood
moved throughout the human body.
★ Slow growth was caused by religious doctrine at times, but it was
also a result of difficult times!
★ Modern science was truly born in the 17th century when the world
began to be investigated more thoroughly using equipment such as
the telescope, microscope, clock, and barometer.
★ It was also at this time that scientific rules explaining phenomena like
gravity and the relationship between a gas's volume, pressure, and
temperature began to emerge.
★ Much of fundamental biology and chemistry was created during the
Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century.
★ The nineteenth century saw some of science's most famous figures,
including chemist John Dalton, who proposed the atomic theory of
matter; Michael Faraday and James Maxwell, who both proposed
theories about electricity and magnetism; and Charles Darwin, who
laid out the (still controversial) theory of evolution.
★ Each of these findings compelled scientists to rethink their
assumptions about how the world operated. KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

★ The Scientific Method was used to discover much of our current

science. The Scientific Method is a technique scientists use to obtain
reliable findings from their investigations.
★ Most things, scientists believe, have a natural explanation. They
attempt to identify the root cause of each problem they encounter to
devise a solution.
★ Scientists, for example, can attempt to restrict illness spread by
studying what causes it.
★ The scientific method refers to the procedure by which scientists
solve problems.
★ Scientists begin by learning as much as they can about a problem.
They then form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an explanation for a
problem.
★ They experiment with putting the hypothesis to the test. If the
experiment fails to support the hypothesis, the scientists revisit the
issue and develop a new hypothesis.
★ The steps for the scientific method are below:
a. Making preliminary observations,
b. Creating an interesting question based
on the observations
c. Creating a hypothesis or forecast in
response to the inquiry
d. Testing and experimenting
e. Gathering and documenting test and
experiment findings, as well as making
conclusions
f. Sharing and debating the outcome
KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
★ Scientists build scientific ideas based on the information gleaned
from testing several possibilities. A theory is a far more
comprehensive explanation than a hypothesis.
★ Theories, according to scientists, are the best explanations for why
certain things happen in the natural world. If scientists uncover new
information about a subject, a hypothesis may need to be revised.

BRANCHES OF SCIENCE

★ Science covers a wide range of topics. These studies are classified

into three categories: physical sciences, life sciences, and social
sciences.
Physical Science
★ The physical sciences are
concerned with nonliving entities,
ranging from the minuscule
particles that comprise an atom to
the Universe.
★ The study of matter and the forces
that act on it is known as physics.
★ The study of substances is known as chemistry.
Astronomy is the study of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.
★ The Earth sciences are the study of the features of the Earth.
★ Mathematics is a physical science as well as it is the study of
numbers. It is also employed in nearly every other branch of science.
Life Science
★ The life sciences are concerned with living creatures and their
environment.
★ Biology involves the study of life in the natural world.
KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
★ Botany is the study of plants, whereas zoology is the study of
animals.
★ Medicine is the study of health and illness.
Social Science
★ Human existence and culture are
studied in the social sciences.
★ Sociology is the study of society or
social groups.
★ Psychology is the study of our
human mind and emotions.
★ Geography is the study of the Earth's
surface.
★ Anthropology is the study of the
origins and evolution of human
civilizations and cultures.
★ Economics is the study of the production, distribution, and
consumption of commodities and services.

SCIENCE SUBJECTS

Biology
★ Biology studies life in the natural world. This comprises topics such
as the cell, genes, inheritance, germs, plants, animals, and the
human body.
★ Ecology studies how organisms interact with their environment,
agriculture (the study of generating crops from land), biochemistry
(the chemical reactions required to support life), botany (the study of
plants), physiology (how live organisms operate), and zoology are all
aspects of biology (the study of animals).

KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts
★ Biology is founded on the following
significant theories and fundamentals:
★ The basic building block of all life is the
cell. Each biological entity is composed of
one or more cells.
★ Genetics studies how organisms pass on characteristics and traits
from generation to generation.
★ Homeostasis is the process through which an organism or cell
regulates its conditions. Humans, for example, can control their body
temperature to 98.6 degrees.
★ All living entities can obtain energy from outside sources. Humans, for
example, consume foods such as vegetables and meat.
★ Photosynthesis is the process plants undergo to obtain energy from
the sun.
★ The term biology is derived from the Greek words "bios" (life) and
"logia" (study of). Combine those two words, and you get "life study."

Earth Science
★ The study of the planet Earth is called
Earth science. It encompasses the
entire globe, from the deep inner core
to the outer layers of the atmosphere.
★ Earth science encompasses a wide
range of disciplines, including geology
(rocks and minerals), paleontology
(dinosaurs and fossils), meteorology
(atmosphere and weather), and
oceanography, to mention a few.

KIDSKONNECT.COM
 Science Facts

of the different "spheres" of the Earth study.
★ The atmosphere is the air that surrounds the planet and comprises
many gases (mostly nitrogen and oxygen).
★ The atmosphere forms a protective barrier surrounding the Earth,
keeping it warm and shielding it from solar radiation. Meteorology is
the study of the atmosphere, which includes the weather.
★ The biosphere is the zone of the planet where life exists. It
encompasses all biomes and ecosystems in the world.
★ The hydrosphere is the area of the planet covered by water, which
includes oceans, glaciers, lakes, and rivers. The ocean covers over
75% of the Earth's surface. Oceanography is the study of the ocean.
★ The lithosphere is the Earth's outer layer. It consists of the Earth's
crust and a portion of the mantle. The lithosphere is divided into
massive parts known as tectonic plates.
★ Geologists study the lithosphere, which includes rocks, minerals,
and Earth's history.
