Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. It involves the observation of natural phenomena, the formulation of hypotheses, the conducting of experiments, and the analysis of results to draw conclusions. Science encompasses various disciplines, including but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, and social sciences. Each discipline utilizes specific methodologies and tools to collect data, identify patterns, and develop theories. The ultimate goal of science is to expand understanding of the natural world, improve technology, inform policy, and enhance human welfare through the application of scientific knowledge.
