Science is a way of figuring out things about the world we’re in. Its big advantage is that it has a way of detecting and fixing errors, so you’re more likely to arrive at something close to the truth.

The way science works is like this:
- You come up with a hypothesis (idea) of how something works.
- You then devise an experiment to test the hypothesis. If the experiment turns out one way, then the evidence supports the hypothesis. if it turns out another way, then it shows that the hypothesis is no good.
- You do the experiment and see if the hypothesis was any good.
