FUN FACT OF SCIENCE YOU NEVER KNOW

WHAT IS SCIENCE?

Science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how the universe works. It is the body of knowledge that has been built up over time through observations, experiments, and careful analysis. Science seeks to explain natural phenomena by asking questions, forming hypotheses, testing those hypotheses through experimentation, and drawing conclusions based on evidence.

WHY IS SCIENCE VERY INTERESTING?

Science is interesting because it is a never-ending journey of discovery. It allows us to understand the world around us and the universe beyond. From the tiniest particles that make up everything to the vast galaxies millions of light years away, science helps us explore all aspects of existence. What makes it especially exciting is that it's based on curiosity — the desire to know why things happen and how they work.\
