ABSTRACT
Science (Latin, scientia, from scire, "to know"), is a term used in its broadest sense to denote systematized knowledge in any field, but usually applied to the organization of objectively verifiable sense experience. The pursuit of knowledge in this context is known as pure science, to distinguish it from applied science, which is the search for practical uses of scientific knowledge, and from technology, through which applications are realized.4 Science is a body of systematic knowledge or a system of knowledge. It may also be defined that science is a branch of knowledge dealing with material phenomena and based on observation, experimentation and induction. It is by study of facts, social as well as natural. The proper understanding and explanation of facts lead to the development of science. All facts are related together. A meaningful relationship of facts is established through rational explanation and in this sense science is the combination of observation, experimentation and thinking process. The ideal of science is to achieve systematic interconnection of facts. This is the first significant step towards the development of systematic knowledge. If we look at the following diagram, we will be able to decipher real meaning of science:
The distinguishing feature of every science is to search for laws, which are explained by constructing theories; and at the same time verification is also important in science. Verification plays an important role in the search for the attainment of truth, which is the ultimate aim of all sciences. Therefore, science is the mode of inquiry, which attempts to arrive acknowledge (truth) of the world by the method of observation and explanation and also by the method of confirmed hypothesis based on what is given in observation. Every science has five aspects:
a) b)
c)
d)
e)
Subject matter, commonly called nature. A method or a procedure or system, commonly called experimental or scientific method, observation method or empirical method. Requires a scientist, a completely deep personalized being (man) who makes observation, performs experiment, describes facts, invents theories and laws, creates schemes and then promptly disappears into the background and from everybody. Every science is knowledge (kind of systematic knowledge) ofsome sorts. Finally, science involves in motivation, because scientific knowledge is a value that is scientist values of knowledge.5
