    DEFINITION AND NATURE OF SCIENCE

    • Science focuses on the Natural World.


    Through science, we understand the natural world such us by studying animals, plants,
    rocks, and all other kinds of matter. Science is not concerned with supernatural world which
    cannot be tested and is not governed by natural world.
    • Science goes through experiments.
    Hypothesis or tentative ideas shall be tested and should arrive at a number of consistent
    results and observations so it can be taken as true. Anything that can be subjected to
    experimentation and not give any observable data cannot be considered as science.
    DEFINITION AND NATURE OF SCIENCE

    • Science relies on evidence.


    As science requires experimentation and observation, it is only right that it would
    look for pieces of evidence that will support the truthfulness of something. Thus, science
    works only with testable ideas. Evidences that are relevant to the matter being studied are
    what scientists are looking for to confirm something to be of science. However, scientific
    knowledge is open to question and revision as new ideas surface and new evidences are
    discovered.
    INTERACTION OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND
    SOCIETY
    Figure 1 shows the interconnections of these 3
    concepts in STS.
    (1) We know that science is a systematized
    body of knowledge that explains natural
    phenomena. This body of knowledge
    seeks to improve quality of living in the
    society, both humans and their
    surroundings.
    (2) Science also informs the field of
    technology because technology is the use
    or application of scientific knowledge for
    a specific goal or purpose.
    (3) We know that society and its elements
    demand on the field of science in terms of
    the knowledge that it will produce
