What makes science “science”? In other words, what defines science and separates it from other disciplines, ways of knowing, or hobbies?

Respond to this question in an informal essay that is approximately 2-3 pages, double-spaced, and type written.

To add fuel to your arguments, use both examples from the Times, other news sources, and the readings on e-reserve by Karl Popper (labeled as “Readings 1”) and Thomas Kuhn (under “specific readings”).
