Study Notes
Social Sciences
- Focus on the study of societies and the interrelationships among individuals.
- Emphasizes the activities of individuals as members of groups.
- Encompasses various disciplines that explore human interaction with society.
Natural Sciences
- Concentrates on the understanding and prediction of natural phenomena through observation and empirical evidence.
Life Science/Biological Science
- Examines life in all its forms, including past and present organisms.
- Covers a wide range of entities: plants, animals, viruses, bacteria, and single-celled organisms.
Physical Science
- Systematic study focused on inorganic aspects of the universe, distinct from biological studies.
Physics
- Investigates matter and energy, examining their separate behaviors and interactions.
Astronomy
- Studies celestial objects (like stars, planets, and comets) and cosmic phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Chemistry
- Explores matter, its transformations, and techniques to manipulate these transformations for creating new materials.
Earth Science
- Investigates the Earth and its cosmic surroundings, offering applications that tie into practical understanding of our planet.
Social Sciences
