India Science (www.indiascience.in) is an Internet-based science Over-The-Top (OTT) TV channel. It is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt of India , implemented and managed by Vigyan Prasar (VP), an autonomous organisation of Department of Science and Technology. This 24x7 video platform is dedicated to science and technology knowledge dissemination, with a strong commitment to spreading scientific awareness especially with Indian perspectives, ethos and cultural milieu. The initiative is supported by National Council of Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), DST.

Science and Technology are the main driving forces of the nation and fundamental to the progress and growth. But there is a distinct difference between “science” and “scientific”.

What do you think, is the difference and where do you think they relate with each other? How do the two words contribute to building and reinforcing scientific temper among the youth? Send us your views!

Scientific thinking is identical in theory and practice, but the term would be used to describe the method that gives you reliable knowledge about the natural world

When one uses the methods and principles of scientific thinking in everyday life such as when studying history or literature, investigating societies or governments, seeking solutions to problems of economics or philosophy, or just trying to answer personal questions about oneself or the meaning of existence one is said to be practicing critical thinking.

But scientific thinking is not reserved solely for scientists. Anyone can "think like a scientist" who learns the scientific method and, most importantly, applies its precepts, whether he or she is investigating nature or not

All scientists practice scientific thinking, of course, since they are actively studying nature and investigating the universe by using the scientific method

The method used to justify scientific knowledge, and thus make it reliable, is called the scientific method. What is general practice of scientific or critical thinking?.

Science is a method that allows a person to possess, with the highest degree of certainty possible, reliable knowledge (justified true belief) about nature

Other ways of knowing, and there are many in addition to science, are not reliable because their discovered knowledge is not justified
