EMPIRICAL SCIENCE
 Empirical science is based on observation and experimentation.
 Capable of being tested for validity and reproducibility.
 Empirical Science can be divided into
Empirical
Science
Natural
Science
Social
Science
EMPIRICAL SCIENCE
Naturalscience
 Branch of science that seeks to elucidate the rules that govern the natural
world by applying an empirical and scientific method.
 Natural Science can be divided into

PhysicalScience
 Physical science is the study of the inorganic world.
 That is, it does not study living things. (Those are studied in biological, or
life, science.)
 Physical Science can be divided into
Physical
Science
Physics Chemistry Astronomy
PhysicalScience
Physics
 The study of matter and energy and the interactions between them.
 It is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how
the universe behaves.
 It is the natural science that studies matter, behavior and its motion
through space and time.
PhysicalScience
Chemistry
 The science that deals with the composition, properties, reactions, and the
structure of matter.
 Different Branches of Chemistry

Astronomy
 The study of the universe beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
 Different Branches of Astronomy
Astronomy
Astrobiology Astrophysics
Natural science
EarthScience
 Earth science or geoscience includes all fields of natural science related to
planet Earth.
 This is a branch of science dealing with the physical and chemical
constitution of Earth and its atmosphere
 Earth Science can be divided into
Earth Science
Geology Oceanography Pale ontology Metrology
EarthScience
Geology
 The science of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth, and the
physical, chemical, and biological changes that it has experienced or is
experiencing.
 It includes the study of organisms that have inhabited
our planet.
EarthScience
Oceanography
 The exploration and study of the ocean.
 It is the study of the physical and biological
aspects of the ocean.
EarthScience
Paleontology
 The science of the forms of life that existed
in prehistoric or geologic periods.
 Paleontology is the study of the history of life
on Earth as based on fossils.
EarthScience
Meteorology
 The science that deals with the atmosphere and
its phenomena, such as weather and climate.
 It is a branch of the atmospheric sciences which
includes atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric
physics, with a major focus on weather forecasting.

 Life science is the study of life and living things.
 It including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular
interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution.
 Life Science can be divided into
Life Science
Botany Zoology Genetics
LifeScience(Biology)
Botony
 The study of plants.
 "Plants," to most people, means a wide range of
living organisms from the smallest bacteria
to the largest living things.
LifeScience(Biology)
Zoology
 The science that covers animals and animal life.
 It covers areas ranging from the structure of
organisms to the subcellular unit of life.
LifeScience(Biology)
Genetics
 The study of heredity.
 Genetics is the branch concerned with the
Study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity
in organisms.

EMPIRICAL SCIENCE
Socialscience
 Social science is the branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the
relationships among individuals within those societies.
 The term was formerly used to refer to the field of sociology, the original "science of
society“
 "Social science" is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields
outside of the natural sciences.
FORMAL SCIENCE
 Branches of knowledge that are concerned with formal systems.
 They use a priori methodology for knowledge development.
 Properties of formal systems based on definitions and rules.
 They include Mathematics, logic, Theoretical computer science ,Information and
systems theory ,Statistics ,Some aspects of linguistics

APPLIED SCIENCE OR NEW BRANCHES
 Application of scientific knowledge transferred into a physical environment.
 Applied science differs from fundamental science, which seeks to describe the most
basic objects and forces, having less emphasis on practical applications.
 Example fields of applied science include Engineering, Applied mathematics, Applied
physics, Medicine and Computer science
Emergence of interdisciplinary subjects
 One branch of science uses knowledge and techniques from other branches of science, to
solve its complicated processes.
 Most of the recent discoveries and inventions in one discipline have resulted from the
joint endeavor between different branches of sciences.
 For example, light (studied in physics) is the energy source behind the (chemical) process
of photosynthesis, or food production, in plants (studied in biology).
