Answer:- Science starts with curiosity and questions like “Why” and “How.” It uses observation, experiments, and explanations to uncover new facts.

3. What is the difference between elements, compounds, and mixtures?
Answer:- Elements are pure substances, compounds are elements bonded together, and mixtures are combinations that can be separated. Each has unique properties affecting how they behave.
