What is Science? (1144 words)
Science is an intellectual activity carried on by humans that is designed to discover information about the natural world in which humans live and to discover the ways in which this information can be organized into meaningful patterns.
Science consists simply of the formulation and testing of hypotheses based on observational evidence; experiments are important where applicable, but their function is merely to simplify observation by imposing controlled conditions.
Science is the most subversive thing that has ever been devised by man. It is a discipline in which the rules of the game require the undermining of that which already exists, in the sense that new knowledge always necessarily crowds out inferior antecedent knowledge.
David Y. Hughes and Robert M. Philmus- The Early Science Journalism of H.G. Wells: A Chronological Survey (5556 words)
One group involves science education or science popularization; one expresses a more or less passive delight in the wonders and mysteries of science; and the third deliberately challenges received opinion by proposing novel or paradoxical ideas and backing them up with an appeal to science.
Science consists neither in technical proficiency nor in pure knowledge of fact but in a method of discovery, and science teaching must impart that method.
That is, when science enables man to take his bearings against the immensities of nature, his sense of wonder and mystery and his fine free, sense of enlarged vision may be overshadowed by a feeling of impotence amid inexorable forces (## 2, 43).
