Science is a method, process, procedure, and system used to study the physical world. If you can see, feels, hear, taste, smell or measure something, Science will investigate. Scientists ask questions about how the world works then gather data to answer the question. Studying Science develops young minds to make informed decisions in the real world. Studying Science at further education opens a number of doors into modern careers in industry, education, medicine, research, military... the list is endless.
