0:02 (Narrator) Science, the art of learning about the natural world around us. It seems straight-foward, 0:08 you ask a question, you make a hypothesis about what you expect to find, then you perform 0:14 an experiment to see if the hypothesis is correct, you analyze the data, and determine 0:20 if you were right. Simple, right? Well, not really. There is much more to it than that, 0:27 which is what makes science so exciting. And fun! In fact, scientists often describe it 0:34 as a process that is all about exploring, asking questions, testing hypotheses, and 0:41 changing directions if their original ideas were wrong; all the while working and sharing 0:47 with other scientists, advancing what 0:50 we know 0:51 about the world 0:52 around us.
"Science [is] the art of learning about the natural world around us" (0:02). Unlike the linear process that often comes to mind, the scientific process constantly loops back onto itself and even entirely changes directions as more and more data is accumulated. This is what makes science so exciting, the discovery of information, the new questions prompted by such discoveries, and the interconnectedness of the science community which expands upon this process one hundred fold.
