Submitted by,

B.Ed Natural Science
INTRODUCTION 
Nature of Science 
Science is the word of modern age, It is an inseparable part of 
modern life. Science is the process of observing, describing, 
exploring and using the physical world. A common man views it as a 
body of scientific information. According to scientists, it is a method 
by which hypotheses are tested. Etymologically the term ‘Science’ is 
the synonym of the term ‘knowledge’. It does not mean that all 
knowledge in the world is science. But science is knowledge acquired 
in a particular way. So science is truth and search for truth. 
Science is actually a body of knowledge, method of enquiry, a 
way of investigation and attitude toward life. Almost everything in 
science can be experienced rather than defined. It can be provided 
showing reason but it is dynamic.
Science as a Process 
The science, the ways of gathering information, thinking, 
measuring, problem solving etc are called processes of science. Basic 
processes of science are observation, comparison, classification, 
communication, measurement, estimation and production. The 
abilities of prediction, explanation and generalization together form 
the process of making inferences. The quality of knowledge acquired 
in science depends on the quality of process skills applied. Sharp 
observation will lead to sound and accurate knowledge. Mainly the 
scientists adopt a cautious and methodical procedure that helps them 
to acquire valid and verifiable conclusions. 
Various process in science can be classified into five 
categories. They are:- 
i. Collection of date 
ii. Analysis of data 
iii. Synthesis of data 
iv. Evaluation 
v. Application of generalization to new situation
For learning science and understanding its process, systematic 
and organized use of process skills is required. A part from the basic 
process skills, integrated are also required. Several skills function 
together to carry out an experiment or to solve a problem. These 
integrated process skills are the following. 
 Identifying and controlling 
 Defining operationally 
 Forming hypotheses 
 Experimenting 
 Tabulating and grouping 
 Interpreting data 
 Testing hypothesis 
 Drawing conclusions
Science as a product 
Science is actually a body of knowledge. This “body of 
knowledge” is referred to as product of science. Solution to every 
problem leads to the discovery of a new problem and the cycle goes 
on and on. The result is the accumulation of huge packets of 
knowledge. The basic components of the product of science are facts, 
concepts, principles, theories, and laws. However scientific 
information is constantly being rearranged and re ordered in the light 
of new knowledge. The products are formed as a result of processes 
ie; we get data, facts, concepts, generalizations, principles etc . 
Scope of science 
 Better understanding of the nature of science. 
 Development of scientific attitude 
 Development of interest and appreciation. 
 Acquisition of skills 
 Training in scientific method. 
 Helping the pupils develop suitable career interests. 
 To develop scientific literacy related to the discipline 
 To create an awareness of national goals 
 To raise the standard of living
