When people think of the word “science” they think of a really fat textbook, lab coats, microscopes, an astronomer, rainforests, Einstein, space, exploding beakers, and mad scientists. Science is both a body of knowledge and a process; science is a process of discovery that allows us to link isolated facts into coherent and comprehensive understandings of the natural world. Science is exciting, it is a way of discovering what’s in the universe how those things work today, how they worked in the past, and how they might work in the future. Science is useful. Science is ongoing; science is continually expanding our knowledge of the universe. Science will never be “finished.” Science is a global human endeavor; People all over the world participate in the process of science!
