Branches of Science

• Natural Sciences:
  • Biology: study of living organisms and their interactions
  • Chemistry: study of properties, composition, and reactions of matter
  • Physics: study of the physical universe, including energy and matter
• Formal Sciences:
  • Mathematics: study of numbers, quantities, and shapes
  • Logic: study of reasoning and argumentation
• Applied Sciences:
  • Engineering: application of scientific knowledge to design and build structures, machines, and systems
  • Technology: application of scientific knowledge to create products and services

Scientific Theories and Laws

• Theory of Evolution: all living organisms share a common ancestor and have evolved over time through natural selection and genetic drift
• Law of Gravity: every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points
• Law of Thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

Scientific Methods and Tools

• Scientific Method: a systematic process used to develop and test scientific knowledge, including observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion
• Microscope: a tool used to magnify and observe microorganisms and small structures
• Telescope: a tool used to observe and study celestial objects and events

Famous Scientists and Their Contributions

• Isaac Newton: developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation
• Charles Darwin: proposed the theory of evolution through natural selection
• Marie Curie: discovered the elements polonium and radium, and pioneered the use of X-rays in medicine

Scientific Concepts and Principles

• Cell Theory: all living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic units of life
• Atomic Theory: matter is composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms
• Conservation of Energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another

Branches of Science

• Natural Sciences encompass the study of living organisms and their interactions (Biology), properties, composition, and reactions of matter (Chemistry), and the physical universe, including energy and matter (Physics).
• Formal Sciences comprise the study of numbers, quantities, and shapes (Mathematics), and reasoning and argumentation (Logic).
• Applied Sciences involve the application of scientific knowledge to design and build structures, machines, and systems (Engineering), and create products and services (Technology).

Scientific Theories and Laws

• Theory of Evolution proposes that all living organisms share a common ancestor and have evolved over time through natural selection and genetic drift.
• Law of Gravity states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.
• Law of Thermodynamics asserts that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
