Branches of Science

Exploring the Main Branches

Science is like a big tree with many branches, each one exploring a different part of the natural world.

Major Branches

  • Physics: Studies matter, energy, and how they interact.
  • Chemistry: Looks at the substances that make up everything and how they change.
  • Biology: Focuses on living things and their life processes.
  • Earth Science: Explores our planet, including rocks, weather, and oceans.
  • Astronomy: Investigates stars, planets, and the universe beyond Earth.

Why Are There Branches?

Dividing science into branches helps scientists become experts and make new discoveries in specific areas.

Discoveries Across Branches

Sometimes branches overlap, leading to new fields like biochemistry or environmental science.

Examples

  • Studying how magnets work (physics).

  • Investigating how plants make food (biology).

In a Nutshell

Science includes different areas like physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and astronomy.
