definition of science and BRANCHES OF SCIENCE .ppt
- 2. SCIENCE Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning. It seeks to understand how things work by asking questions, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data.
- 3. BRANCHES OF SCIENCE Natural Science Life Science Physical Science Earth and Space Science - Botany - Physics - Geology - Zoology - Chemistry - Meteorology - Ecology - Astronomy - Genetics - Oceanography
- 4. Natural Science - a field that is not only involved in describing and explaining nature but is also an integral part of the interaction between nature and humans. a. Physical Sciences - one of the fundamental disciplines in science and the primary goal of physics is to understand the behavior of the universe. This science deals with physical properties and the phenomenon of different objects. b. Earth and Space Science - focusing on the study of space, geologic structures and forces, the waters on our planet, and the atmospheric forces that shape our world.
- 5. LIFE SCIENCES - the study of living organisms and life processes.
- 6. PHYSICAL SCIENCE • Physics – The science that deals with the properties, changes and interactions of matter and energy. • Chemistry – The science that deals with composition, properties and reactions of substances.
- 7. EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE • Geology – the science that deals with the development of the Earth’s crust, its rocks and fossils. • Astronomy – The science that deals with the origin, size, motion of stars and planets. • Meteorology – the science of the atmosphere and its phenomena (the study of the weather) • Oceanography – The study of the environment of the ocean (plants and animals)
- 8. LIFE SCIENCE • Botany – the science that deals with plants and plant life. • Zoology – The science that deals with animals and animal life. • Genetics – The branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation in animal and plant species. • Ecology – The branch of biology that deals with the relations between living organisms and their environment.
