What does the word Science mean?

By Ruben Veríssimo, 11º Zi Escola Secundária de Loulé

Science is the way mankind has found to explain and understand nature. It has different areas and is also a whole way of thinking. Being rigorous, attentive to details and to changes produced by small changes are part of the necessary attitude in science.

The evolution of science has brought many good things for our daily lives, such as the electricity, telephone and technology. Use of science and knowledge that it provides helps make better decisions, or at least wiser decisions.

And it is precisely the conscience of each one that is the basis of the importance of science in our day-to-day. A conscious use of science can help make the world a better world.
