I just encountered this simple and helpful question in the context of how and what we teach students.
If we teach science as a static body of knowledge (particularly facts, theories, and techniques) we are acting as if science is a noun.
By contrast, if we focus on teaching students to think scientifically and critically, to solve problems, and to ask questions, then we act as if science is a verb.
