Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge-base or prescriptive practice that is capable of resulting in a prediction or predictable type of outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique or practice. In its more restricted contemporary sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes called experimental science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of scientific research to specific human needs—although the two are commonly interconnected. Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work. The methods of scientific research include the generation of hypotheses about how phenomena work, and experimentation that tests these hypotheses under controlled conditions. Scientists are also expected to publish their information so other scientists can do similar experiments to double-check their conclusions. The results of this process enable better understanding of past events, and better ability to predict future events of the same kind as those that have been tested. The ability of the general population to understand the basic concepts related to science is referred to as scientific literacy. From Wikipedia under the

Also, if there are any, are they enlisted or officer jobs? Asked by Dee-Gee - Thu Nov 26 14:52:43 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. there are enlisted and officer in all fields. take a look at each branch's website to read more about jobs. the navy and air force both are heavy in engineering and science, although the army also has a lot of civil engineering. air force for example has the developmental engineering field which is basically their R&D field. They also have a scientist field (i forget the exact name) which is more about chemical engineering. my point is that all branches will need all types of engineering and science disciplines. just go to the websites and read up on the jobs. then you can go to and you can read more detailed descriptions of each job. as far as your decision on whether you want to be an officer or not. if you have a degree, become an… [cont.] Answered by Habib89 - Thu Nov 26 15:33:00 2009 What percentage of foundation maths and science papers is a C grade?
