“Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.”

Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:

Science helps us understand how things are connected. When something happens, there's usually a reason for it, and science aims to find out what that reason is. Think of it like cooking: if you bake a cake and it rises nicely in the oven, science can explain why that happened. It could be because you added the right amount of baking soda, which reacts with other ingredients to create bubbles that make the cake fluffy. In history, think about how scientists figured out that diseases are often caused by germs. Before this discovery, people didn't understand why they got sick. By observing and experimenting, scientists were able to show the link between germs and illness, and now we use that knowledge to keep ourselves healthier by washing our hands and using vaccines. This way of thinking can help you make better decisions in your everyday life. If you know that studying hard leads to good grades, you can choose to put in the effort because you understand the connection. By recognizing how one thing leads to another, you can plan better and solve problems more effectively.
