Purpose of Science - Description
systemic observation enhances the understanding of a given phenomenon by enabling scientists to describe it accurately.
Purpose of Science - Prediction
A second level of scientific understanding occurs when repeated observations reveal that two events consistently covary with each other
Purpose of Science - Control
The ability to predict with a certain degree of confidence is a valuable and useful result of science; prediction enables preparation.
There are three major purposes of science. The purpose that involves demonstration of functional relationship is:

True
Involves understanding some phenomena through systematic observation in order to describe it accurately.
Description
Another level of understanding is called __________, which involves repeated observations of some phenomena until consistent correlation among events can be described.
Prediction
To __________ something means we can manipulate events to consistently cause other events, and requires structured experimentation that is repeated and produces the same result each time.
