The Science of Life

Introduction

Have you ever wondered about where the facts come from in your science textbooks? How do scientists attempt to determine how the natural world works? How certain can they be about their findings? This module gives you a window into the scientific process and scientific thought.

The nature of science requires that any questions asked and answered be open to progress and revision. The scientific method allows for this by providing a framework in which unbiased, structured studies can be used to collect evidence and answer questions about the natural world while also being subject to peer review and revision as new evidence is brought to light.
