| The natural sciences
seek to understand how the world and universe
around us works. There are five major branches
(top left to bottom right): Chemistry,
astronomy, earth science, physics, and biology. |
Natural Sciences
There are some sciences that are used to study nature.
According to these sciences, the things that can be
observed in nature follow certain rules. These rules are
often unknown, and natural sciences are about finding
them. They often use what is called the scientific
method to do this.
Physics looks at how nature is made, and how different
fields of nature relate to each other.
Chemistry is about the elements, their combinations, and
their reactions.
Biology looks at living organisms, their development,
and how they interact with each other.
Geology looks at how the earth developed and what it
looks like. |
