Topic description:
Science is the systematic, evidence-based study of natural phenomena and the laws of the universe, spanning fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Scientific discovery often inspires science-fiction stories and speculative ideas. Research builds step by step and continuously refines our view of the world. Science is not a static collection of facts but a living process that also raises questions about the future.

Category description:
Nature encompasses Earth's living and non-living systems, including ecosystems and climatic and geological processes. Understanding them is essential for studying sustainability and environmental change. Wildlife, climate, and geology are tightly linked; when that balance is disrupted, human living conditions are affected in the long run.
