  Natural science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term natural science is also used to differentiate those fields using scientific method in the study of nature, in contrast with social sciences which use the scientific method applied to human behavior, and in contrast to formal science, which uses different methodology.
Together, the natural and applied sciences are distinguished from the social sciences on the one hand, and from the humanities, theology and the arts on the other.
In this sense "natural sciences" can be an alternative phrase for biological sciences, involved in biological processes, or perhaps also the earth sciences, as might be distinguished from the physical sciences (more directly involved in the study of physical and chemical laws underlying the universe).

 Axess, a magazine for the liberal arts and social sciences
Since in natural science there is a given and generally accepted terminology, and in addition a large number of generally accepted methods (and basic theories), the natural scientist need not use much text on sections dealing with such matters, at the same time as much natural science consists of developing new methods.
Natural scientists do not all work with experiments, in which a small number of factors are isolated – but the method of repeatable experiments may be seen as an ideal for natural scientists.
Natural scientists find almost incomprehensible the importance that human scientists attach to the design of the introduction, with all the understood or implied references (or lack of them) it includes.

 NTSE Paper: Physics and Supernature
If a scientist made the claim that atoms emit photons at characteristic wavelengths because the Almighty by a special act interposed Himself into nature causing him to measure certain energies of photons when making spectroscopic observations certain atoms, this scientist would be missing an opportunity to understand a general principle of atomic physics.
The separation of the supernatural from the natural, or equivalently the immaterial from the physical, is a characteristic of dualism.
Natural science does not appeal to the supernatural, in the sense of special action thrust on the physical order from outside, but it relies on a vision of reality which allows for a complete account of physical processes.

 J.R. Kantor: The Institutional Foundation of a Scientific Social Psychology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
As we have already suggested the ability of the natural scientist to rid himself of these animatisms is largely owing to the comparatively simpler nature of his data.
Moreover, these natural foundations we discover in exactly the same way as the biologist traces out the development of the biological organism beginning from the first contact of two elementary cells, and continuing through the contacts of the product of their union with the food, atmosphere, and other surrounding conditions.
How entirely natural, that is to say, how much a matter of interaction of persons and stimuli conditions, cultural conduct really is, we may observe from the fact that not all Germans had this belief as part of their equipment.

 New Page 1
It is through the ongoing dialogue of both theology and natural science with their respective cultures as a whole that the presuppositions and findings of one discipline influence (often in very subtle ways) the other.
Both complementarities are a consequence of the nature of the relatedness between the observer and the object (or Object-Subject for theology) observed.
Thus certain aspects of knowledge acquisition in theology and in natural science may be represented by complementarity relationships as a consequence of the unique characteristics of the respective interactions between the human observer and the object (or object-subject) observed.

 CHAPTER XIV, THE SCHOLAR AND THE SCIENTIST, INTRODUCTION - Report of the Royal Commission on National Development in ...
Scientists and humanists, at their best, pursue knowledge in the fields of nature and of human life for sheer love of it.
The application of the scientist's work is the material control of the forces of nature, or of man, and its use in such a way as to increase the pleasure and comforts of life, to broaden its activities, and to prolong life itself or to shorten it.
We have observed that even when certain representatives of these studies have used the term scientist in their presentations to this Commission, they have in general associated themselves with the humanities rather than with the natural sciences.

 Conservation scientists and foresters
Conservation scientists and foresters manage their use and development and help to protect these and other natural resources, and for this reason are becoming known as natural resource managers.
Although conservation scientists mainly advise farmers, farm managers, and ranchers on ways they can improve their land for agricultural purposes and to control erosion, a growing number are advising landowners and governments on recreational uses for the land.
Although Conservation scientists and foresters work in every State, employment of foresters is concentrated in the Western and Southeastern States, where many national and private forests and parks, and most of the lumber and pulpwood-producing forests, are located.

Sub-atomic particles act in accord with their essential nature; they show activity, which in more complex physical forms is recognised as life, and they show appropriate reaction to environmental conditions, which in more complex physical forms is recognised as consciousness.
The natural consequence of breaking natural law is the termination of progression; while the natural consequence of following natural law is continued progression.
Natural law must still be followed, but we humans have the ability and the obligation to choose whether or not to follow that natural law.

 Weber - The Work - Natural Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
According to Weber, differences between the natural sciences and the social sciences arise from differences in the cognitive intentions of the investigator, not from the alleged inapplicability of scientific and generalizing methods to the subject matter of human action.
While the social scientist may wish to search for such lawful abstract generalizations in human behavior, he is also interested in particular qualities of human actors and in the meaning they ascribe to their actions.
When the social scientist adopts a generalizing method, he abstracts from random unique aspects of the reality he considers; concrete individual actions are conceived as "cases" or "instances," which are subsumed under theoretical generalizations.

 Science Toolkit - The Program of Natural Scientist
You can use the simulation hole the school-day lesson by lesson, from one classroom to another, because it is so easy to move around and use and in addition to that it is so fast to calibrate.
The program is easy to use and therefore pupils have not been obliged to become more familiar with it, but they have used to act as assistants during every lesson by computer and probes changing the roles lesson by lesson.
I should be delighted if neglect for education into the longing of the cleanness in nature and environment could be stopped in basic-school, just when pupils are in most sensitive age.

There are two extremes of scientists and engineers: the average ones who follow standard operating procedures and the ones who break rules and come up with new ways of doing things.
ADD scientists are in the latter category (of course).
Since children are such natural inventors, it's not surprising that ADD adults are, too.
