The answer to this question is false. Learning about the natural world begins with observations, primarily of cause and effect but also of any phenomenon, repeated or not.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is false.

It is a common mistake thinking that knowing the natural world and knowing science is the same as knowing formulas and laws.

although memorizing things helps us make calculations and can also help us predict things or phenomena.

The natural world is all that we can see and feel around us so to get to know it in most cases we just have to observe it, explore it or do experiments and find the beauty in science. And when we do this, the memorizing of laws and formulas will come as a secondary thing.
