	science
		Science is first and foremost a set of logical and empirical methods which provide for the systematic observation of empirical phenomena in order to understand them.
		Science consists of several specific sciences, such as biology, physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, which are defined by the type and range of empirical phenomena they investigate.
		Finally, science is also the application of scientific knowledge, as in the altering of rice with daffodil and bacteria genes to boost the vitamin A content of rice.

	Questions and Answers: What is hands-on learning, and is it just a fad?
		According to Hein (1987), materials-centered science is synonymous with hands-on science and activity-centered science.
		Science education in elementary schools first existed as selections contained in the eighteenth and nineteenth century children's didactic literature (Craig, 1957; Underhill, 1941).
		What children in elementary schools need is not abstract scientific principles, not the systematic study of any or all the sciences (an impossible thing), but simple, objective, convincing demonstrations of the main ideas and uses of science in the home and neighborhood and in the larger world beyond.

	Science Fiction Weekly -- Letters to the Editor
		Jolly's definition of science fiction is more correctly considered a definition of the hard science fiction subgenre, and even here there are times when his definition would exclude a story.
		Jolly to claim that science fiction is dead, he must ignore the works of writers like Sheffield, Forward, Egan and Benford, who all usually try to play by the rules of science as we know them; in addition he must also ignore other authors who also write hard SF as well as other forms.
		Jolly's letter concerning the lack of "real" science fiction today; I propose that good SF is not about technology itself but rather about the impact of technological advancement on human beings and their society.

	New Caribbean Coral Killer -- 276 (5321): 1979 -- Science
		They occur in the massive Montastraea and Colpophyllia corals but don't seem to damage the branching corals, which are vulnerable to white pox, a disease that was reported last year for the first time off Florida (Science, 20 December 1996, p.
		Cervino and his colleagues are calling the new condition "rapid-wasting disease" because the diameter of the affected area initially spreads up to 7.5 centimeters in 24 hours before slowing down.
		If that proves to be the case, then scientists have a leg up on this new disease, says Peters, as the pathogenic agents in most of the other half-dozen or so coral diseases are not known.
