Science

Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and analysis. It seeks to understand how the universe works, from the smallest particles to vast cosmic phenomena, and covers fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. Scientists use the scientific method to test hypotheses, gather evidence, and develop theories that explain natural processes.

Science suits individuals who are curious, analytical, and enjoy solving complex problems. It’s ideal for those with a passion for discovery, a strong interest in how things work, and the ability to think critically. People who enjoy research, experimentation, and working with data will thrive in the field of science.
