Introduction of Science

Definition:-

                “When we perform some experiments then we obtain some observations and results. The knowledge obtained from that process called Science”.

Origin:-

                The word “Science” is obtained from Latin Word “Scientia” meaning Knowledge.

 Background:-

                When no particular information regarding the materials was known then all of these materials, which were known, whether they were Sun, Moon, Earth, the Minerals, Wood, Trees were studied under single subject called Natural Philosophy. But as the knowledge increased it was needed to divide into further studies. With this respect it was further divided into two parts:-

1) Physical Sciences:-

                The study of non-living things was regarded as Physical Sciences.”

2) Biological Sciences:-

                “The study of living organisms was regarded as Biological Sciences.”

Branches of Science:-

                Now there are many branches of Science, which include:-

1) Physics:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of matter, energy and their interaction is called Physics.”

2) Chemistry:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of chemical and physical properties of elements, behavior of nuclei and chemical reactions is called Chemistry.”

3) Biology:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of parts of human body is called Biology.”

4) Zoology:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of animals is called Zoology.”

5) Botany:-

“The branch of science which deals with the study of plants is called Botany.”

6) Astronomy:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of everything in space is called Astronomy.”

7) Geology:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of structure of Earth is called Geology.”

8) Biochemistry:-

                “The branch of science which deals with the study of chemical reactions taking place in the living organisms and related with them is called Biochemistry.”
