WHAT IS SCIENCE?

Dr. Rohaida: What is science?

Student1: Science is organized knowledge.

Student2: Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one  
              fact upon another.

Student3: Science is the desire to know causes.


Science in School

Science involved 3 main things. Knowledge, skills and attitude.

As we know science knowledge is dynamic as new discovery and research may replace or explain the same theory in a boarder manner. 

So, as a teacher, we can’t teach students everything during the school time. 

Instead, what should teacher do is to inculcate experimental skill and manipulative skill to students. 

This is crucial as students will have inner motivation to find out more about development in science.





                    'Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know.'                  

                                                                       (Bertrand Russell, 1872)
