On the Nature of Science
1. Science is a way of studying our natural environment,
using a repeatable, methodical approach.
2. Science relies on evidence from the natural world, and
this evidence is examined and interpreted through logic.
3. Science cannot be used, by definition, to study events or
phenomena that cannot be perceived by natural or empirical
senses and do not follow any natural rules or regularities.
4. Science is a human endeavor; it is based on observations,
experimentation, and testing. It allows us to connect the
past with the present.
5. Science provides us with a way to present ideas that can
be tested, repeated, and verified.
