Philosophy of science

Philosophy of science is about understanding how we figure out things about the world around us. Scientists use things like experiments, observations, and logical reasoning to try and understand how the world works. In philosophy of science, we think about how scientists can be sure that their understanding is accurate, and about how we can use science to make sure that our knowledge is true. So basically, philosophy of science is all about making sure that we have a good understanding of science and how it works.
