400 Science Words

 ,
Science is the body of knowledge and practice based on systematic observation and experiment. This is based on testing of falsifiable hypotheses whereby knowledge is built upon observations and a culture of skepticism and peer review. Although science is an incredibly broad and diverse set of fields there are a large number of terms that are familiar to most scientists. The following are illustrative examples of common words and phrases in science.
