Solution

Science:

  1. A system of knowledge about the physical, chemical, and biological universe and the things that occur in it is called science.
  2. It is an objective observation that explains the basic rules of nature. Another approach to defining science is as the information gained through practice.

Branches of science:

There are four primary divisions of science; every branch is divided into many topics that encompass various fields of study such as chemistry, physics, arithmetic (mathematics), astronomy, and so on.

  1. Chemistry: The discipline of study is concerned with the characteristics, content, and structure of chemical elements, their ability to change, and indeed the energy produced or consumed as they are doing so.
  2. Physics: A branch of science concerned with matter and energy, particularly their interconnections.
  3. Geology: The science that studies the physical structure and composition of the earth, as well as its history and the activities that operate on it.
  4. Astronomy: The study of anything outside of Earth's atmosphere. This includes things visible to the naked eye, such as the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars.
  5. Biology: The study of living beings, which is separated into several specialist disciplines like morphology, metabolism, anatomy, psychology, origin, and circulation.
