How to Learn and Practice Science Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783031145131 Includes bibliographical references and index.What is Science? -- Science in Daily Life - Can One See Science in Routine Actions? -- Scientific Methodology -- Language of Science -- Mathematics - The Common Base for Science -- Integrated Approach to Science Communication -- Experience and Experimenting in the Development of Science -- Observation and Inference -- Science as a Profession -- Science and Society.This book is a small but practical summary of how one can and should learn science. The author argues that science cannot be taught but has to be learnt. Based on historical examples he shows that practicing science means putting one’s intellect into the understanding of simple questions like what, why, how and when events around you happen. The reader understands that the search for the cause and effect relationship of so called normal happenings is a very provocative experience and learning science leads one to it. This is underpinned by looking at everyday experiences and how they can help any lay-person learn science. The author also explains the methodology of science and discusses an integrated approach to science communication. Finally he elaborates on the influence and role of science in society. The book addresses interested general readers, teachers and science communicators.Physics and Astronomy SeriesScienceStudy and teachingScienceHistoryPhysicsHistoryAstronomyGravitationTeachingScience EducationHistory of ScienceHistory of Physics and AstronomyAstronomy, Cosmology and Space SciencesGravitational PhysicsDidactics and Teaching MethodologyScienceStudy and teaching.ScienceHistory.PhysicsHistory.Astronomy.Gravitation.Teaching.Science Education.History of Science.History of Physics and Astronomy.Astronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences.Gravitational Physics.Didactics and Teaching Methodology.507.1507.1Prasanna A.
