    There is no mistaking it - the benefits from science are all around us. It has made our daily lives better through medicine, healthcare, technological, electrical and even mechanical innovation. If you are reading this paper on a computer, it is science that made it all possible. Understanding the many complexities of science can be quite a difficult undertaking, however, there is a common denominator that all scientists use in achieving the amazing results that they achieve; they use the scientific method. The scientific method allows scientists to utilize a common approach to address the requirements of the scientific community. These techniques allow other scientists, as well as just the layman, to know that there has been a standardized system applied to the scientific process. I will present a brief example of what the scientific method is and how to apply it to a real life issue.…

    Scientific reasoning and inquiry has had and is continuing to have a large impact on the world and the human culture, especially in the areas of nature, biology, physics, chemistry, faith, morality, ethics, society, government, phycology, technology, and among others. Scientific reasoning is the logic behind scientific research and consists of the explanation, prediction, and control of empirical phenomena in a rational manner. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge by covering truths. Scientific reasoning is important not just for institutional science resources, but also it is applicable to everyday life. In day to day activities we, as human beings, need to make good reasoning to explain, predict, and control the events around us. For example when we want to protect our investments, jumpstart our career, improve our health, we gather evidence to find an effective way to achieve our goals. Using good scientific reasoning skills in everyday activities can potentially lead to success in any field or situation. Science has had a major impact on society from discovering hard truths about our world, soft truths about human beings, and more importantly drove towards the advancements in technology that has changed the culture of human beings forever.…

    Science Literature Review

    Science involves an inquiry process that pupils utilize to understand the world around them. The inquiry process demands the use of both thinking skills and practical skills. Together, they help pupils to develop their understanding of science by combining scientific knowledge with reasoning and thinking skills. (Teo N. 2003) I note that inquiry in science begins with observation of a phenomenon that is sparked by curiosity. It then develops questions predominantly from the knowledge background. Following which, data is gathered as evidence before hypotheses is derived and communicated. At this juncture, findings are shared and can possibly be challenged if new evidence is prevalent. Thus the scientific knowledge that we come to know today is a result of communication of ideas, concepts and hypotheses that shaped the knowledge. The nature of human inquiry is congruent to the processes described earlier as we reflect by observing, gathering, assembling and synthesizing information.…
