SCIQ1L1.1 | INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

science

science

involves observations followed by experimentation leading to further observations and experimentations.

social science

focuses primarily on the study of people, culture, and society.

social science

includes economics, geography, history, law, education, sociology, and psychology.

natural science

seeks to understand the natural world and its different processes.

natural sciecne

includes biology, chemistry, and physics.

pure science

involves gathering of information through experimentation mainly for the pursuit of knowledge.

life science

also known as biology

life science

deals with all aspects of living

life science

it studies the behavior, history, and development of living organisms.

pure science or applied science

natural science can further be divided into

physical science and biological science

pure science can be further divided into two divisions

botany

the study of plants

zoology

the study of animals

genetics

the study of the function and behavior of genes.

physical science

deals with the study of matter and energy.

physics

the study of the interaction of matter and energy.

chemistry

the study of the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes

astronomy

the study of heavenly bodies.

earth science

also known as the geoscience

earth science

the study of Earth and its neighbors.

geology, paleontology, oceanography, meteorology, petrology

earth science is divided into specific fields of studies

geology

the study of history and structure of earth

paleontology

the study of prehistoric plant and animal life through fossil remains

oceanography

the study of the physical, chemical, and biology aspects of oceans, the ocean floor, mapping, and measuring earth's surface underwater.

meteorology

the study of earth's weather and atmosphere.

petrology

the study of rocks.

applied science

deals with the search for practical uses of scientific knowledge and laws.

applied science

it uses the discoveries of pure science to create solutions and create products that can be used in actual settings

applied science

examples of these are the engineering, medicine, electronics, environmental science, and computer science.
