Scientific Terms Defined Part of learning about science is learning the scientific lingo and terminology. Some words are not all that different but when used by scientists refer to a more precise definition as compared to everyday speech. Other words are totally foreign at first and it takes some time to learn them. This Term Browser site provides an extensive glossary of scientific terms. In addition to definitions, there are examples in both animated graphics form as well as written text to further explain the terms.
