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.
