Science is knowledge, often as opposed to intuition, belief,
etc. It is, in fact, systematized knowledge derived from
observation, study and experimentation carried on in order to
determine the nature or principles of what is being studied.
There are many sciences, each concerned with a particular field
of study. In each science measurement plays an important part.
In each science, too, a study is made of the laws according to
which objects react. Here are some sciences.
