Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice.

In its more restricted contemporary sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science - the application of scientific research to specific human needs - although the two are often interconnected.

Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested.

What is a normal science curriculum for 5th or 6th graders?
Q. I'm starting the planning for a book that's targeted at kids in 5th-6th grade, and could be used as a classroom science supplement/science guide. So any parents out there who help their kids with science homework, or actual kids :) what subjects should I try to focus on?

A. This website has lots of topics and learning resources for science. It is UK based, but I think it will be a good starting place if you are if the USA too.

Why is it important to understand the role of science in environmental issue?
Q. There have been misconceptions of science/scientific fact or through the use of technology in regards to the approaches they have used towards the environment. Why should those in particular 'green' lobby groups, stakeholders, and the community in general who are often opposing developments" have to understand the significance of science in environmental controversies? On what ground does science have to be understood by those who oppose it. Is it so those who oppose technological development at the expense of the environment need to take science into account and understand this knowledge then to use it to refute those scientist?

A. Science is the base of every environmental issue. If you don't understand the science, then you don't understand the environmental issue. Simple as that. Global warming is the perfect example.

Science in the broadest sense refers to any system of objective knowledge. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research.
