DEFINITION OF SCIENCE

Science (from LATIN scientia, meaning "knowledge) is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
To understand what science is, just look around you. What do you see? Perhaps, your hand on the mouse, a computer screen, papers, ballpoint pens, the family cat, the sun shining through the window …. Science is, in one sense, our knowledge ,all the stuff that is in the universe: from the tiniest subatomic particles in a single atom of the metal in your computer's circuits, to the nuclear reactions that formed the immense ball of gas that is our sun, to the complex chemical interactions and electrical fluctuations within your own body that allow you to read and understand these words. But just as importantly, science is also a reliable process by which we learn about all that stuff in the universe. However, science is different from many other ways of learning because of the way it is done and the person who practices it is called a scientist. This blog will teach u what science  actually is.

There are many types of sciences like astronomy , philosophy , biology , physical science , chemistry , ecology , geology .... etc.These branches are subdivided. I'll tell all the branches i know below.
