Branches of Science

Branches of Science *Biological Sciences: Living organisms Botany Zoology Ecology Biology Living organisms Where they live How they interact

Branches of Science-continued *Earth Science Geology Meteorology Climatology Nonliving things Weather, climate, oceans Maps & geologic features

*Physical Science Chemistry Physics Branches of Science-continued *Physical Science Study of matter & energy in living and nonliving systems Chemistry Physics Study of matter Study of energy & forces

Science vs. Technology Gaining knowledge Example: What is lightning? Practical use of science to make products or tools to make our lives easier. Example: Turning the concept of lightning into electricity.

Theory vs. Law Attempt to explain a pattern observed repeatedly in the natural world. Must be supported by observations & many investigations. Can change; always questioned & examined Rule that describes a pattern in nature. Must be observed repeatedly Doesn’t attempt to explain why something happens. Describes a pattern. Ex: cold coke taken from refrig. Gets hot

Theory vs. Law Example: If you let go of a pen it will fall due to gravity. LAW Why the pen exists or how it works? Theory
