Different Branches of Science

Many of us are science lovers, although we hate to learn science as a subject unless we learn based on a top homeschool science curriculum that can keep things interesting and exciting. As said earlier, science is an ocean, while a few are revealed through experiment and research; there are many undiscovered elements in the world. We are not digging for any mysteries of undiscovered science, but to learn about various branches of science.

Science Branches

Broad classification of science:

  • Physical Science
  • Life Science
  • Earth Science

Physical Science

Classified into three:

  • Physics - A natural science that involves the study of matter, motion, energy, force, objects, etc. related to universe and its function
  • Chemistry – The study and analysis of various elements, composition, structure, chemical process, etc.
  • Astronomy – The study of objects in and beyond the atmosphere of the earth

Life Science

Biology – Natural science and in-depth study of living organisms, from evolution to destruction.

  • Botany – A known branch of science, studying about plant kingdom
  • Zoology – The twin branch of botany, study of animal kingdom
  • Human Biology– The study about human beings, nutrition, diseases, medicine, etc.
  • Genetic Science – The study about genes, genetic facts, diseases of genes, etc.
  • Medicine – The study, diagnosis, research, etc. of various diseases and treatments

Earth Science

Classified into five:

  • Ecology - The study of environment, relation of living organisms in the environment and ecosystem
  • Oceanology – Called Marine Science, it broadly covers all topics related to the Ocean
  • Meteorology – The study about climate, rainfall, wind, speed, density, etc. related to the Atmosphere
  • Geology – The study about various aspects of earth, an interesting branch that deals with digging the past
  • Palaeontology – Similar to Geology, which deals with studying various objects that existed in the prehistoric period

Sub branches, a blend of physics, chemistry, and biology.

  • Bio-Chemistry – Organic Chemistry, study about various processes happening in living organisms
  • Bio-Physics – A pure blend of Physics and Biology, where the concepts and theories of Physics are applied in biological elements
  • Biotechnology – A new branch of science emerged as a baby of Biology and Technology, which deals with exploring microorganisms for production of drugs, artificial hormones, etc.
