SCIENCE INTRODUCTION

Science is the systematic study of the world around us. Science deals with the facts and theories. A theory is an idea that people believe to be true, but that hasn't or can't be proven at this time. When a theory is proven, it becomes a fact.

Before the technology of the microscope, we could not see germs. Doctors did not know what caused diseases for sure. There were a lot of theories about what caused diseases, but no person knew for sure. It wasn't until well after the invention of the microscope that scientists could actually
see microbes and determined that they caused diseases. Lots of the theories about what caused diseases were trashed and the  theory which diseases were caused by germs became a fact.

On this page we will look at a lot of areas of science. There are numerous different types of science and most of them end with the suffix -ology. If you see this at the end of a word, this means "the study 0f." In this post you will be understanding about the science of biology. Biology is the study of living things. The prefix bio, means "life." If we build it with the suffix, we have the study of living things.
