science – la ciencia

(Pronounced see-ehn-see-ah)

To remember that science is pronounced see-ehn-see-ah (ciencia) in Latin American Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

In molecular science, to see anything, you must see it through a (ciencia) microscope. 

Ciencia is feminine, so it's la ciencia. Imagine a lady receiving an award for her work in science.
