 =//Welcome To Science...Welcome to ACTION// =

How do we define science? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is "//knowledge attained through study or practice//," or "//knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, especially as obtained and tested through scientific method and concerned with the physical world//."

The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines science as, //the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena//.

What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it.

Dictionaries refer to the word ** //SCIENCE// ** as a noun (a person, place, or thing.) But...how do we acquire or obtain knowledge? How do we test using the scientific method? How do we observe, identify, describe, explain, and experiment without action??? The answer brings us to the focus of this site... Science **IS** Action - it involves asking, answering, solving, figuring out, explaining, unraveling, concluding - Science involves //**doing**// because ** SCIENCE IS A VERB **!!
