1. What is Science?
To me, science is something that explores new things in many different fields. It invokes curiosity in the minds of people who study these different fields. And despite the fact that people probably think science is only limited to "the study of something", math is, in its own way, a science.
2. Do you like Science? why or why not?
It depends on the science. Personally, I'm more into the "psuedo-sciences", like metaphysics. But I also have an interest in psychology, physics, geology, and chemistry. There's math, too, namely algebra and trig. Stuff like anatomy or biology is all right, but other than the ones I mentioned, I really can't say I'm a huge fan of it.
3. What are the steps in the scientific Method?
If I recall correctly, there's the hypothesis (usually with an "If, then" format), the experiment itself, and then a conclusion.
4. What is a scientific theory? give an Example.
A scientific theory is something made based on observation. An example would be something like "plants will grow if exposed to carbon dioxide and water".
5. Define a hypothesis
A hypothesis is like a prediction, but it's not random like predictions may be. Usually, a hypothesis is a prediction based on personal experience.
6. What is a scientific law? Give an Example.
I don't ever recall learning about this, but I'll give it a shot. A scientific law is like a law passed by the government, only it's something that can't be altered except by nature (as it is nature-made). Think of Darwin's evolution theory as an example. Over time, species adapt to certain environments and situations and give birth to species that can live in those conditions, the rest dying off.
7. What is Evolution?
As I just explained, a species in an environment that it can't adapt to may give birth to another one of its kind with specific traits that allow it to adapt to that environment. For example, I remember learning about a creature whose primary food source was the leaves from tall trees. Because it had a short neck, though, it couldn't get its primary food source and thus starved to death. Overtime, though, that species gave birth to a species with a longer neck, and that species eventually gave birth to a species with an even longer neck. Eventually, the creature we know as a "giraffe" was born.
