About Science
Science covers the whole range of what people have figured out by looking closely and testing carefully. The clues here move from the very small to the very large: atoms too tiny to see without instruments, cells revealed by a microscope, then planets tracing orbits held by gravity. Others point to tools and evidence, including a thermometer that measures temperature, a fossil preserved in rock, and the controlled experiment that separates a good guess from a tested answer.
Reach for this when a class or a curious solver at home wants to review general science vocabulary from biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science in one sitting.
