Study Notes

Physical Science and Natural Science

  • Physical science studies the natural world around us, focusing on non-living matter, energy, and the fundamental laws that govern the behavior of the physical universe.

Definition of Natural Science

  • Natural science is defined as the systematic study of the structure, behavior, and evolution of the physical universe through observation, measurement, and experimentation.

Criterion for Scientific Theory

  • The main criterion for a scientific theory in natural science is that it must be testable and falsifiable, meaning it can be proven or disproven through experimentation and evidence.

Ensuring Quality of Scientific Work

  • The quality of scientific work in natural science is ensured through a process of peer review, where research is reviewed and critiqued by other experts in the field to verify its accuracy and validity.

Branches of Natural Science

  • The two main branches of natural science are life science (or biological science), which studies living organisms and their interactions, and physical science, which studies non-living matter and energy.
