Study Notes

What is Science?

  • Science involves observing, studying, and experimenting to understand the nature of phenomena.
  • Divided into three main branches: Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth/Space Science.

Life Science

  • Focuses on living organisms, their life processes, and interrelationships.
  • Areas of study include:
    • Biology: Examines all forms of life and living matter.
    • Anatomy: Studies the structure of both animals and plants.
    • Botany: Dedicated to the study of plants.
    • Ecology: Investigates interactions between organisms and their environments.
    • Zoology: Covers the study of animals and their life, including relationships with plants and human health.
  • Careers in Life Science: Include zookeepers, biologists, doctors, veterinarians, marine biologists, nutritionists, and pharmacologists.

Physical Science

  • Deals with inanimate matter and energy, encompassing areas such as physics and chemistry.
  • Areas of study include:
    • Chemistry: Focuses on the composition, properties, reactions, and structure of matter.
    • Physics: Studies the interaction of matter and energy; includes concepts like gravity, light, and time.
  • Careers in Physical Science: Comprise engineers, chemists, and architects.

Earth/Space Science

  • Encompasses sciences related to Earth and space, their composition, and dynamic changes.
  • Geology: Investigates the origin, history, and structure of Earth, including physical, chemical, and biological changes over time.
