Study Notes
Branches of Science
-
Natural Sciences:
- Biology: study of living organisms and their interactions
- Chemistry: study of the composition, properties, and reactions of matter
- Physics: study of the natural world around us, including matter, energy, and the fundamental laws of the universe
-
Formal Sciences:
- Mathematics: study of numbers, quantities, and shapes
- Logic: study of reasoning, arguments, and inference
-
Applied Sciences:
- Engineering: application of scientific knowledge to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, and systems
- Medicine: application of scientific knowledge to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases
Scientific Method
- Observation: making observations about the world around us
- Hypothesis: forming a hypothesis to explain the observations
- Prediction: making predictions based on the hypothesis
- Experiment: designing and conducting experiments to test the hypothesis
- Analysis: analyzing the data collected from the experiment
- Conclusion: drawing conclusions based on the analysis
Scientific Theories
- A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation for a set of phenomena
- Theories are developed through the scientific method and are supported by a large body of evidence
- Examples of scientific theories:
- Gravity
- Evolution
- Atomic structure
Scientific Tools and Techniques
- Measurement: using instruments to measure physical quantities such as length, mass, and time
- Microscopy: using microscopes to observe and study microorganisms and cells
- Chromatography: separating and identifying the components of a mixture
- Spectroscopy: studying the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation
