Question

what is science? science is a body of knowledge based on the study of nature and its physical setting with the purpose of developing explanations. commonly referred to as scientific inquiry, it is a process involving observation, inferences, and experimentation, but can be considered a creative process as well. it is guided by research and results in a constant reevaluation of what is known, leading to new knowledge. this brings about more questions that require more research and experimentation. the procedures used and the results are evaluated by scientists who are in the same field or are doing similar research. on the other hand, pseudoscience is an area of study that tries to imitate science. astrology, horoscopes, and psychic reading are pseudosciences. they are not supported by science - based evidence. observations that are not consistent with beliefs are ignored. their claims cannot be tested because they are a mixture of fact and opinion. classify each statement as a characteristic of science, pseudoscience, or both science both pseudoscience

Explanation:

Science is based on observation, experimentation, and peer - review, constantly reevaluating knowledge and basing claims on data. Pseudoscience imitates science but lacks scientific evidence, ignores inconsistent observations, and its claims are untestable mixtures of fact and opinion. Astrology is a pseudoscience. Both science and pseudoscience make claims about the world.
