- 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
Scientific Method
- 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
