Science students and teachers are often asked to define science. The traditional natural sciences include subjects such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology (often called Earth science in schools), and physics. Then there are the social sciences such as anthropology, psychology, sociology, and others. What is the common thread that makes these areas of study science?
Scientific methodology, or the scientific method, is a process for learning about the world or universe around us. One good definition of science is anything that follows scientific methodology. Both the natural and social sciences mentioned above use scientific methodology to help advance knowledge. The first step in scientific methodology is to observe nature in some way via observations or simple experiments. Scientists then try to explain the observed natural phenomena via a scientific model, hypothesis, or theory. Theories, hypotheses, and scientific models are approximately the same thing with differences. Theories tend to be more encompassing than scientific models or hypotheses.
