Science is part of everyday life, as seen through the objects we use, the food we eat, and the transportation available. Science seeks to answer questions about how things work in nature, like how ships float or birds migrate. Answering these questions requires careful study and consideration of many facts. Science is the systematic study of nature and how it affects us and our environment. Different fields of science like biology, physics, chemistry, and geology study different aspects of nature. Scientists investigate through research and experimentation to discover new answers and understand how and why things happen.
