 READING COMPREHENSION

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of
testable explanations and predictions about the universe. In an older and closely related meaning,
"science" also refers to this bodyREADING
of knowledge itself, of the type that
COMPREHENSION ONE can be rationally explained and
reliably applied. Ever since, classical antiquity, science as a type of knowledge has been closely linked
to philosophy. In the West during the early modern period the term "Science" and "Natural Philosophy"
were sometimes used interchangeably to refer to the study of natural phenomena and, until the 19th
century, natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was considered a branch
of philosophy.

In modern usage "science" most often refers to a way of pursuing knowledge, not only the knowledge
itself. In the 17th and 18th centuries scientists increasingly sought to formulate knowledge in terms of laws
of nature. Over the course of the 19th century, the word "science" became increasingly associated with
the scientific method itself, as a disciplined way to study the natural world, including physics, chemistry,
geology and biology. It is in the 19th century also that the term scientist began to be applied to those who
sought knowledge and understanding of nature.
