    THE BRANCHES OF

    SCIENCES
    Reporter: Lynn D. Sarate
    • Science is a systematic study of the
    nature and manners of an object and the
    natural universe that is established around
    measurement, experiment, observation
    and formulation of laws.
    THREE MAIN BRANCHES OF
    SCIENCES
    1. THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES
    • Physics: The study of matter and energy and the interactions
    between them. Physicists study such subjects as gravity, light
    and time. Albert Einstein, a famous physicist, developed the
    Theory of Relativity.

    • Chemistry: The science that deals with the composition,


    properties, reactions, and the structure of matter. The chemist
    Louis Pasteur, for example, discovered pasteurization,
    which is the process of heating liquids such as milk and
    orange juice to kill harmful germs.

    • Astronomy: The study of universe beyond the Earth’s


    atmosphere.
    2. THE EARTH SCIENCES
    • Geology: The science of the origin, history, and structure of
    the Earth, and the physical, chemical, and biological changes
    that it has experienced or is experiencing.

    • Oceanography: The exploration and study of the ocean.

    • Paleontology: The science of the forms of life that existed in


    prehistoric or geologic periods.

    • Meteorology: The science that deals with the atmosphere


    and its phenomena, such as weather and climate.
    3. THE LIFE SCIENCES (BIOLOGY)

    • Botany: The study of plants.

    • Zoology: The science that covers animals and


    animal life.

    • Genetics: The study of heredity.

    • Medicine: The science of diagnosing, treating, and


    preventing illness, disease, and injury.
