Introduction to Science
Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, measurement, experimentation, and logical reasoning. Long before modern laboratories existed, humans observed patterns in nature such as seasons, motion, celestial cycles, and biological life.
This section explores the historical development of scientific thought, tracing how empirical observation gradually evolved into formal scientific methods.
