- Social sciences explore human behavior and society
- A range of disciplines study human actions, structures, and interactions.
- Various disciplines (like psychology, sociology, and economics) form the social sciences.
Branches of Natural Science
- Natural science studies the natural world through observation and experimentation
- It's based on established laws of nature and the physical world.
Natural Science/Earth Science/Geoscience
- Includes fields of science focused on Earth
- Studies Earth's structure, properties, processes, and 4.5 billion years of evolution.
Earth science's Four Spheres
- Earth's systems include the biosphere (life), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (gas), and geosphere (rock and minerals).
- These systems are interconnected.
Astronomy
- Studies celestial objects beyond Earth's atmosphere
- Uses mathematics, physics, and chemistry to understand celestial origins and evolution.
