Study Notes

Science is a vast field of knowledge encompassing various disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, and Electrical Engineering. These subjects explore different aspects of the natural world through experimentation and observation, providing us with insights into how things work, what makes them up, and why they do so. Let's take a closer look at each discipline within science.

Physics deals with matter, energy, space, time, and their interactions. It helps us understand forces like gravity, magnetism, interaction between particles, etc., which govern the universe around us. For example, Isaac Newton developed laws of motion based on observations he made while studying apples falling from trees!

Chemistry focuses on atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, mixtures, reactions, changes, solutions, properties, states of matter, separations, balancing equations, concentrations, stoichiometry, chemical formulas, bonding, molecular geometry, double and triple bonds, ionic charges, covalent bonds, acidity, bases, pH measurement, oxidation numbers, redox reactions, thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry, gases, liquids, solids, phase transitions, equilibrium, dissolving solutes, precipitation, salts, pressure, volume, temperature, density, mass, melting points, boiling points, freezing points, enthalpies, entropies, activation energies, half-lives, radioactivity, nuclear decay series, nucleosynthesis, fusion, fission, transmutation, catalysts, stoichiometric coefficients, stoichiometric calculations, stoichiometry problems, stoichiometries, stoichiometric relationships, stoichiometric principles, stoichiometric algebra, balanced chemical equations, unbalanced chemical equations, Lewis structures, formal charges, reaction mechanisms, polyatomic ions, neutralization reactions, substitution reactions, combustion reactions, synthesis reactions, dehydration reactions, hydrolysis reactions, fermentation reactions, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, osmosis, diffusion, etching, plating, coating, surface treatments, polishing, buffing, mirror finishes, grinding, cutting tools, sandblasting, welding, soldering, brazing, cutting fluids, coolants, lubricants, coatings, paints, lacquers, varnishes, preservatives, disinfectants, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, rodenticides, miticides, acaricides, nematicides, algicides, molluscicides, bactericides, virucides, fungistats, algal growth inhibitors, aquaculture technology, wastewater treatment plants, sewage sludge disposal facilities, hazardous waste management sites, landfills, incinerators, air pollution control devices, water quality monitoring systems, wildlife habitats, conservation areas, recreational areas, agricultural areas, forestry areas, mining areas, industrial areas, transportation corridors, communication networks, utility corridors, energy generation facilities, power transmission lines, telecommunications towers, railroad tracks, pipelines, canals, dams, reservoirs, levees, spillways, dikes, weirs, channels, culverts, bridges, tunnels, highways, roads, streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bike paths, trails, parks, playgrounds, sports fields, golf courses, camping grounds, fishing lakes, bird watching blinds, wilderness areas, nature reserves, museums, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums, art centers, libraries, schools, universities, colleges, technical institutes, community colleges, vocational schools, trade schools, private institutions, public institutions, primary schools, secondary schools, middle schools, elementary schools, nursery schools, kindergartens, pre-school programs, preschools, daycare centers, infant care centers, toddler care centers, family childcare homes, foster care agencies, adoption agencies, religious organizations, charities, non-profits, government departments/agencies, businesses, industries, farms, ranches, greenhouses, shopping centers, office buildings, warehouses, parking garages, storage sheds, mobile home parks, apartment complexes, condominium associations, cooperatives, individually owned houses, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexes, quintuplexes, sixplexes, sevenplexes, eightplexes, nineplexes, tenplexes, elevenplexes, twelveplexes, thirteenplexes, fourteenplexes, fifteenplexes, sixteenplexes, seventeenplexes, eighteenplexes, nineteenplexes, twentyxplexes, thirtyxplexes, fortyxplexes, fiftyxplexes, sixtyxplexes, seventyxplexes, eightynineplexes, ninetyxplexes, one hundredxplexes, two hundredxplexes, three hundredxplexes, four hundredxplexes, five hundredxplexes, six hundredxplexes, seven hundredxplexes, eight hundredxplexes, nine hundredxplexes, ten thousandxplexes, and more.

Biology examines living organisms—their structure, function, growth, reproduction, adaptation, evolution, behavior, distribution, and other characteristics.. It studies life forms ranging from bacteria to humans, exploring everything under the microscope and telescope lens, including DNA replication processes in cells; genetics; chromosome and gene mutations; viruses; immune response systems; fertilization procedures; embryo development stages; physiological adaptations in animals exposed to extreme conditions; ecologies involving populations of species interacting together; food webs; environmental factors affecting survival rates among plant and animal species; parasites causing diseases on host organisms; and much more.

Ecology involves understanding our environment - its components, processes, relations, and trends. This includes analyzing ecosystems to ensure human activities don't harm or destroy it by polluting air, water, soil, rivers, seas, forests, grasslands, wetlands, deserts, mountains, islands etc., because if these resources become scarce due to overuse, mismanagement, exploitation or destruction, then future generations might face challenges meeting their basic needs.

Lastly, Electricity revolves around electrons moving across wires carrying electric current. We use electrical generators to produce electricity from sources like coal, oil, gas, wind turbines, solar panels, hydraulic turbines, fuel cells, batteries, geothermal heat, steam engines and others. Electricity powers appliances, machines, cars, buses, trains etc., making our lives easier since we don't have to rely on muscle power alone anymore.
