Study Notes
Definition of Sciences
- 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 the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning.
Characteristics of a Scientific Theory
- A hypothesis must be testable, falsifiable, and supported by empirical evidence to be regarded as a scientific theory in natural science.
Branches of Natural Science
- The two main branches of natural science are life science (biology) and physical science (physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc.).
Quality Control Methods
- Methods used for quality control in natural science include peer review, replication of results, and the use of controlled experiments to minimize errors and bias.
