The document discusses the different branches of science - life science, earth science, and physical science. It provides examples of fields of study and tools used that fall under each branch. These include fields like zoology, geology, and chemistry as well as tools used by scientists working in those fields like microscopes, rock hammers, and beakers. The document instructs the reader to categorize the examples under the appropriate branch and then create a foldable to organize the information.

1. Branches of Science

2. Life Science Any of several branches of science that deal with living organisms and their organization, life processes, and relationships to each other and their environment

3. Earth Science Any of several essentially geologic sciences that are concerned with the origin, structure, and physical phenomena of the earth

4. Physical Science Any of the sciences that analyze the nature and properties of energy and nonliving matter

5. Fields of Study Identify which branch of science each of the fields of science falls under Do this by color-coding as follows: Green : Life Science Red : Earth Science Blue : Physical Science

6. Tools Used Identify which branch of science each of the tools falls under Do this by color-coding as follows: Green : Life Science Red : Earth Science Blue : Physical Science

7. Life Science Zoologist Entomologist Hematologist Ecologist Mycologist Cell biologist Ichthyologist Biomedical engineer Microbiologist Biologist Lepidopterist Taxonomist Ornithologist

8. Earth Science Petrologist Mineralogist Volcanologist Geologist Oceanographer Environmentalist Hydrologist Paleontologist Meterologist Astronomer Seismologist

9. Physical Science Chemical engineer Organic chemist Chemist Physicist Geophysicist Audiologist

10. Make Foldable Once you are satisfied that you have correctly identified both the fields of study as well as tools used, cut them out and glue to the appropriate place on your Branches of Science foldable

11. Reflection page 14 Look at the learning targets for our current unit (back of 2 nd page) and identify what branch of science we will be studying Next, draw a picture of you (the scientist) using some of the tools you might use as that type of scientist
