## Branches of Science Everything you observe involves science. The animals, plants, oceans, mountains, even the unseen organisms, and all the natural events that take place on Earth can be explained by science. Science is divided into different branches. Here are some of the most common branches of science. - **Biology** is the study of living things, including their structure, function, and growth. An expert in the field of biology is called a biologist. - **Botany** is the study of plants, including the characteristics of plant parts, how plants make food, and how they reproduce.

An expert in the field of zoology is called a zoologist. - **Meteorology** is the study of weather and climate. An expert in the field of meteorology is called a meteorologist. - **Chemistry** is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and reaction of matter. An expert in the field of chemistry is called a chemist. - **Astronomy** is the study of heavenly bodies. An expert in the field of astronomy is called an astronomer. - **Physics** is the study of matter and energy, and the interaction between them.
