Natural science
Natural science is a branch of science concerned with the description, prediction, and understanding of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. It can be divided into two main branches: life science (or biological science) and physical science. Physical science is subdivided into branches, including physics, chemistry, astronomy and earth science. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches (also known as fields).
Overview
The natural sciences seek to understand how the world and universe around us works. There are five major branches: Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Earth Science, and Biology. The natural sciences are more focused on objective, empirical evidence, and have more specific goals than other sciences.
Branches of Natural Science
Physics
Physics is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between the two. Physics can also be defined as "that department of knowledge which relates to the order of nature, or, in other words, to the regular succession of events."
Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of chemicals and the changes they can undergo. Chemistry is often called "the central science" because it overlaps so much with the other sciences.
Astronomy
Astronomy is the study of the universe beyond the Earth's atmosphere. It includes the study of the physics, chemistry, and evolution of celestial objects, as well as observational and theoretical astronomy.
Earth Science
Earth Science is the study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. It is an exciting science with many interesting and practical applications.
Biology
Biology is the study of life and its processes. Biologists study all aspects of living things, including all the many different types of organisms on Earth and the processes in them that enable life.
