What is Science?

Science is one of the broadest and most foundational subjects in academic writing, spanning disciplines from biology and physics to psychology, history, and philosophy. Students encounter science-related writing assignments across general education courses, specialized STEM programs, and humanities classes that examine how scientific thinking intersects with culture, religion, and society. What makes science academically compelling is its dual role as both a body of knowledge and a method of inquiry — a process through which humans build understanding of the natural and social world. Papers in this area frequently engage with questions about technology and responsibility, the relationship between science and religion, and the social implications of scientific advancement.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take an evaluative angle, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology or examining how scientific progress affects cultural beliefs and values. Others focus on specific applications, such as DNA profiling, geoinformatics, or celestial navigation. Historical and contextual analyses appear as well, including work on the Italian Renaissance as a period of scientific transformation. Certain papers move into adjacent fields like criminal psychopathology and classic social psychology experiments, showing how scientific frameworks shape disciplines beyond the hard sciences.

A strong essay on science succeeds by narrowing its scope to a clear, arguable thesis rather than attempting to survey the entire field. Evidence drawn from specific processes, case studies, or established theories tends to carry more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating description with analysis — simply explaining what science is rather than arguing why a particular aspect of it matters, how it functions, or what consequences it produces.

Formation, characteristics, and classification of tornadoes

Tornadoes: Nature's Phenomenon A tornado is "a violent, destructive, whirling wind accompanied by a funnel-shaped cloud that progresses in a narrow path over the land." Sometimes, a tornado will happen so quickly that there is little or no sign before it starts. A tornado can have the strongest winds on earth, up to 300 MPH, and can cause "fantastic destruction and great loss of life, mainly from flying debris and collapsing structures." Scientists use "the Enhanced Fujita Scale" to give tornadoes different levels. They started with the Fujita Scale and started using the Enhanced Scale in 2007 because it uses "three-second gusts estimated at the point of damage based on a judgment of 8 levels of damage to 28 indicators." The old scale had "F0" for the weakest level; the new scale has "EF0" for the weakest level. The old scale had "F5" for the worst level; the new scale has "EF5" as the worse level.
