• Science is from the Latin word "scientia", meaning "knowledge"
• Good science is based on information that can be measured or seen and verified by other scientists.
• Enumerate the 2 major division of Natural Science

  Physical Science and Biological Science
• Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the natural world.
• Science leads to the creation of concepts, methods, principles, theories, laws and procedures which seek to describe and explain nature and its phenomena
• Natural Science are primarily concerned with understanding the laws, principles, and processes that govern the natural world.
• Natural Science is a disciplines that study the natural world and phenomena occurring in the physical universe.
• Physical Science is a branch of science that deals with the study of non-living matter and energy.
• Biological Science is the study of living organisms, their structure, function, growth, evolution, and interactions with each other and their environment.
• Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces that govern the universe.
• Chemistry deals with the composition, properties, structure, and behavior of matter. It examines the elements, compounds, and reactions that occur between them.
• Earth science focuses on the study of the Earth, its processes, and its components.
• Geology is the study of rocks, minerals, and the Earth's structure.
• Meteorology is study of weather and climate
• Oceanography is the study of oceans
• Environmental science is the study of the environment and its impact on living organism
• Biology is the core discipline within biological science, and it encompasses the study of living organisms.
• Biology includes various sub- disciplines, such as molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, ecology, zoology, botany, evolutionary biology, and microbiology
• Anatomy focuses on the structure and organization of living organisms
• Physiology explores the functions and processes of living organisms and their parts.
• Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environment.
• Ecology examines how organisms interact with each other and with their physical surroundings, including topics such as ecosystems biodiversity, and conservation.
• Genetics investigates the inheritance, variation, and molecular mechanisms that underlie the traits and characteristics of living organisms.
• Applied sciences are focused on the practical application of scientific knowledge and principles to solve real-world problems and develop useful technologies
• Applied sciences often draw from the foundations of natural sciences and utilize their findings to address specific challenges in various fields.
• Examples of applied sciences include:

  Engineering, Medicine, Agriculture, Environmental science, and Computer science.
• Engineering applies scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and improve structures, machines, systems, and technologies.
• Medicine is the applied science of diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and promoting human health.
• Agricultural science involves the application of scientific principles to enhance crop production, animal breeding, and the management of agricultural ecosystems.
• Environmental science applies scientific knowledge to understand and address environmental issues, such as pollution, climate change, conservation, and natural resource management.
• Social science is a branch of science that focuses on the study of human society and social relationships.
• Social science seeks to understand various aspects of human behavior, social interactions, institutions, and societal structures.
• Social science encompasses a broad range of disciplines that examine different dimensions of human society.
• Sociology is the study of human society, social groups, and social interactions.
• Sociology investigates topics such as social structure, social inequality, social institutions, culture, and social change
• Sociologists analyze patterns of behavior, social norms, and the influence of social factors on individuals and groups.
• Psychology examines the human mind and behavior. It explores topics such as cognition, emotion, perception, personality, and mental processes.
• Psychologists study individual behavior, psychological development, mental health, and the influence of social factors on behavior.
• Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and their development.
• Anthropology investigates the diversity of human societies, cultural practices, social organization, and the interaction between culture and biology.
