      To understand ourselves and the world around us. That’s it. The world turns out to be pretty complex though, so we need lots of scientists!

      Science means knowledge in Latin!

      I would say science is the process of asking why and using tests and experiments to prove theories to gain knowledge about the universe.

      Science is a way of thinking about things that tries to stop your own biases and convictions getting in the way of understanding the reality of the world, and the nature of our selves.

      Question, hypothesize, develop aim, devise method, experiment, collect data, analyse results, come to a conclusion. Rinse and repeat.
