用法How to use 科学
科学 means "science" or "scientific knowledge" as a noun, and "scientific" before nouns such as 科学方法 and 科学知识. It can also be used adverbially as 科学地 + verb (科学地分析问题); bare 科学 before a verb is not automatically wrong in fixed collocations, but 科学地 is the clear adverbial form for learners.
