ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY

• Branch of science that deals with the composition of matter of change in position.

  Biology
• Branch of science that deals with non-living things amd their nature, composition, characteristics, and changes that they have undergone.

  Physical science
• A statement based on facts and reason that is designated to explain facts

  Theory
• The scientific way to solve scientific problems

  Scientific method
• A concise statement that summarizes a large number of related facts is usually universally accepted, proven, and stated

  Law
• Normally a given may be used as the basis for reasoning

  Hypothesis
• The first to devise a system classifying animals. He wrote the Historia Animalium which contains accurate descriptions of extant animals of Greece and Asia Minor.
