Science Class Notes
Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world
through observation, experimentation, and analysis.
1. Physics: - Study of matter, energy, and the interactions between them. - Laws of motion, gravity,
thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. - Example: Newton's Three Laws of Motion describe how
objects move when forces are applied.
2. Chemistry: - Study of substances, their properties, and how they interact and change. - Periodic
Table organizes elements based on their properties. - Chemical reactions involve breaking and
forming bonds between atoms.
3. Biology: - Study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. - Topics include
cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecosystems. - The cell is the basic unit of life, with prokaryotic
and eukaryotic types.
4. Earth Science: - Study of Earth’s structure, processes, and history. - Includes geology,
meteorology, oceanography, and environmental science. - Plate tectonics explains the movement
of Earth's lithospheric plates.
5. Astronomy: - Study of celestial objects like stars, planets, comets, and galaxies. - The universe
began with the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago. - The solar system consists of the Sun,
planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Conclusion: Science helps us understand the world, develop new technologies, and solve
real-world problems. It evolves over time as new discoveries and advancements are made.
