Science, as a school subject, encompasses the systematic study of the natural world and its phenomena,
employing empirical evidence and experimentation to formulate theories and explanations. It is broadly
categorized into disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences, each focusing on
distinct aspects of the universe, from living organisms and their interactions (biology) to the composition
and properties of matter (chemistry) and the fundamental laws governing motion and energy (physics), along
with the study of Earth's structure, processes, and history (earth sciences). Science education aims to
cultivate critical thinking skills, promote curiosity, and develop a deeper understanding of the world
around us, enabling students to engage with complex scientific concepts, analyze data, and make informed
decisions in various personal, societal, and professional contexts.
