Ancient and Medieval Science
Science means "knowing" in Latin. It is the process of learning things about the world. People have always wanted to learn more about their world, and they have tried a lot of different ways to find things out. Some of the ways they tried might seem silly to you, others are at the root of all modern science. But it all comes from the same desire to find out how things work.
