Natural Science

The document discusses the key branches and topics within natural science, which seeks to understand natural phenomena through observation and empirical evidence. It describes the two main branches of natural science as life science/biological science, which studies life forms, and physical science, which studies the inorganic world. The document also provides examples of fields within physical science such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, and earth science.

Natural Science

Natural Sciences
A major branch of science that deals
with the description, prediction and
understanding of natural
phenomena, basically based on
observational and empirical
evidence.
The natural sciences seek to understand how the world and universe around
us works. Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth Science

Branches of Natural Science Description
1. Life Science/ Biological Science It studies life in all its forms, past and
present. This includes plants, animals,
viruses and bacteria, single-celled
organisms, and even cells

2. Physical Science This is the systematic study of the


inorganic world, as distinct from the
study of the organic world, which is the
province of biological science.

1. 2.
a. Physics The science in which matter and energy are studied both
separately and in combination with one another

b. Astronomy The scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets,


comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside
the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background
radiation).

c. Chemistry The study of matter and its transformations and the


development of methods to manipulate those
transformations to create new and useful forms of matter.

d. Earth Science The study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. It is an
exciting science with many interesting and practical
applications.
Social Sciences and Natural Sciences
Things in Common
- both sciences employ the scientific model in order to gain
information.
- both sciences use empirical and measured data evidence
that can be seen and discerned by the senses.
- both sciences’ theories can be tested to yield theoretical
statements and general positions.
