    Here's my view: "Science is learning by asking questions and looking for things that give the answers."

The key point is that science relies on objective evidence rather than authority or opinion.

    It's about asking questions like "Why is the sky blue?" and "How do fishes breathe underwater?" then working out the answers.

    Lots of people have done this. Scientists work things out - we understand rainbows.
