SCIENCE comes from the Latin word ‘scientia’ which means knowledge systematic attempt to discover, by means of observation and reasoning, particular facts about the world, and to establish laws connecting facts with one another and, in some cases, to make it possible to predict future occurrences. ‘Science is knowledge of the world of nature’ SCIENTIFIC METHOD SCIENTIFIC METHOD 1. Ask the Questions 2. Conduct Research 3. Develop your Hypothesis 4. Test your Hypothesis With an Experiment 5. Make an Observation 6. Examine your Results and Draw a Conclusion 7. Share your Findings THREE MAJOR BRANCHES OF SCIENCE PHYSICAL SCIENCE LIFE SCIENCE EARTH SCIENCE OTHER BRANCH OF SCIENCE APPLIED SCIENCE PHYSICAL SCIENCE study of the inorganic or non living things in the world ○ CHEMISTRY ○ PHYSICS ○ ASTRONOMY CHEMISTRY the science that deals with the composition and properties of substances and various elementary forms of matter PHYSICS the science that deals with matter, energy, motion, and force ASTRONOMY the science that deals with the material universe beyond the earth's atmosphere. EARTH SCIENCE the fields of study concerned with the solid Earth, its waters, and the air that envelops it. ○ GEOLOGY ○ METEOROLOGY ○ OCEANOGRAPHY ○ ASTRONOMY GEOLOGY the study of the solid matter that makes up Earth. METEOROLOGY the study of weather patterns, clouds, hurricanes, and tornadoes. OCEANOGRAPHY the study of everything in the ocean environment. LIFE SCIENCE any science that deals with living organisms, their life processes, and their interrelationships, as biology, medicine, or ecology. ○ ZOOLOGY ○ BOTANY ○ MARINE BIOLOGY ○ ENTOMOLOGY ZOOLOGY studies the members of the animal kingdom and animal life in general. BOTANY the study
