Branches of Science
Learning about the major branches of science and what each studies.
Core concept
Within these three broad branches are many specialised fields: Physics includes areas like mechanics, optics, and astronomy; Chemistry includes organic chemistry (carbon compounds) and inorganic chemistry; Biology includes botany (plants), zoology (animals), and microbiology (microorganisms). Environmental science and computer science are more modern branches that combine ideas from multiple traditional sciences. Understanding which branch a question belongs to helps scientists use the right tools and methods to investigate it.
