What is science about?
Science is the study of how the universe works
Science is a systematic process used to discover how the universe works and what it is made of. Science relies on testing ideas with evidence gained from the natural and physical world. Scientific explanations are accepted as reliable only when they have been subjected to rigorous testing.
Scientific knowledge is dynamic and evolves over time
Scientific knowledge builds on previous ideas and innovations and is continually being updated and expanded as new evidence comes to hand. This means that our understanding of the universe has changed over time and will continue to change.
Science is a collaborative activity
Scientists interact with each other and with the wider world and as they try to validate new explanations. Science explanations are inextricably linked to culture, politics, and economics because scientists are part of communities and cultures that view the world in different ways.
Science is both logical and creative
Scientific investigation makes use of multiple approaches, creative as well as logical. Creative scientists “think outside the box”, shift perspective as they view problems, and examine different views of the same problem. Through inspiration, careful observation, and critical thinking, scientists discover, invent, adapt, combine, and apply ideas. Knowledge gained from scientific research finds its way into countless practical applications/technologies that benefit humankind.
He aha tēnei mea te pūtaiao?
Ko te ako o te āhua o te taiao mahi Pūtaiao
He tukanga pūnahanaha kia kite e pehea ai te hanga o te Ao. Ka whakawhirinaki ki runga i ngā whakaaro ki te whakamātautau i ngā taunakitanga kua riro i a tātou te Ao. Nā te hurihanga o te taiao, ka tini ngā mōhiotanga o te Putaiao, ā, kei te tini tonu. Kei te whakaae i ngā whakamārama Pūtaiao rite pono anake, no te mea kua oti te pehi i a ratou ki te whakamātautau pakari.
Te mātaranga Putaiao
Ko te hihiri o te matauranga Pūtaiao e whakahoutia, ka whakawhānui anō hoki i ngā taunakitanga hou ki te ringa. Koia nei te tikanga e puta atu tatou i te ao nā runga anō i ngā whakarerekētanga o te Putaiao.
Te mahi ngātahi
E pāhekoheko ana te Putaiao ki a rātou, ki te ao whānui, ki te taumata o ratou ki te whakamana i ngā whakamāramatanga hou. Kei te tūhonohono te whakamāramatanga o te Pūtaiao ki te ahurea, te tōrangapū, me te ohaoha nō te mea he wāhi o te hapori me ngā ahurea e tirohia i te ao i roto i ngā huarahi rerekē o te kaipūtaiao.
He arorau, he auaha.
He maha ngā auaha me te arorau hei tūtuki. Ko tā te kaipūtaiao "me whakaaro i waho o te pouaka", kia whākawhanui te tirohanga atu ki te ao, kia ahukahuka i ngā raruraru, waihoki, ka titiro ki ngā rerekētanga o te raruraru. Nā roto i te wharuarua, e manukanuka ana te mātakitaki, te whakaaro arohaehae a te kaipūtaiao. Ka whai tonu i te urutau, te whakakotahi, me te whakamahi i ngā whakaaro. Mā te Putaiao ka huakina nga tatau ki a rātou e hiahia ana te whai.
