Introduction to Science

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable

explanations and predictions about the universe. The earliest roots of science can be traced to

Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Branches of Science

Science is divided into several branches: natural sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics), social

sciences (e.g., anthropology, economics, psychology), and formal sciences (e.g., mathematics,

logic). Each branch has its own methodologies and areas of focus.

The Scientific Method

The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the

development of science since at least the 17th century. It involves careful observation, rigorous

skepticism, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
