Science involves observation and experimentation to build knowledge about the natural world. It is an ongoing process of investigating through questioning, observing, experimenting and predicting. Superstitions are beliefs that are not scientifically tested, while science seeks to understand nature through reasoning and evidence-based experiments. The main branches of science are natural sciences like physics, chemistry and biology, which study different aspects of the natural world, and social sciences like economics, history and sociology that focus on understanding people and societies.
