    Study Notes

    Science

    • Science is a systematic and organized body of knowledge about the natural world and the physical and biological processes that govern it.
    • It uses observation, experimentation, and analysis to understand phenomena.
    • Scientific methods involve formulating hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data, and drawing conclusions.
    • Key branches of science include physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science.
    • Physics deals with the fundamental laws of motion, energy, and force.
    • Chemistry studies the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.
    • Biology focuses on living organisms and their processes.
    • Earth science investigates the Earth's systems, including its composition, processes, and history.

    Social Studies

    • Social studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines human societies and their interactions.
    • It delves into the exploration of history, geography, civics, economics, and cultures.
    • History analyzes past events and their impacts on the present.
    • Geography focuses on the Earth's physical features, human settlements, and spatial interaction.
    • Civics examines the structure of governments, citizens' rights and responsibilities, and the relationship between individuals and their communities.
    • Economics studies how societies allocate resources and how individuals and groups make decisions.
    • It also considers cultural aspects, social institutions, and different perspectives.

    Mathematics
