Step-by-step explanation:

Science is not just a collection of facts, but it is how you get those facts. Science is about the processes on how you arrive or come up with the answers. It is fulfilled by doing great amounts of researches, questions, and experiments on how the answers were made.

This is an inaccurate definition because science is based upon theories and laws. Laws are not yet proven to be true but are provoked to be correct. With the upcoming of new technologies science theories can be proven wrong. So to say that science is a collection of facts is completely inaccurate. Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
