Branches of Science

Natural Sciences:
- Biology: study of living organisms and their interactions
- Chemistry: study of matter and its properties
- Physics: study of energy, matter, and the fundamental laws of the universe
Formal Sciences:
- Mathematics: study of numbers, quantities, and shapes
- Logic: study of reasoning and argumentation
Applied Sciences:
- Engineering: application of scientific principles to design and build structures, machines, and systems
- Medicine: application of scientific principles to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases
Social Sciences:
- Psychology: study of human behavior and mental processes
- Sociology: study of human social behavior, relationships, and institutions
- Anthropology: study of human cultures, languages, and biological characteristics
- Economics: study of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services
- Political Science: study of governments, politics, and policies

Observation: making an observation about the world
Question: asking a question about the observation
Hypothesis: proposing a tentative explanation for the observation
Prediction: making a prediction based on the hypothesis
Experimentation: designing and conducting an experiment to test the hypothesis
Analysis: analyzing the data collected during the experiment
Conclusion: drawing a conclusion based on the analysis
Communication: communicating the results of the experiment and conclusion

Observation is the first step in the scientific method, where scientists make an observation about the world
The question step involves asking a question about the observation
A hypothesis is a tentative explanation proposed for the observation
A prediction is made based on the hypothesis
Experimentation is designed and conducted to test the hypothesis
Analysis involves analyzing the data collected during the experiment
A conclusion is drawn based on the analysis
Communication involves sharing the results of the experiment and conclusion

Measurement involves using instruments to collect data
Observation involves using senses to collect data
Experimentation involves designing and conducting experiments to test hypotheses
Simulation involves using models to mimic real-world scenarios
Data analysis involves using statistical methods to analyze data
