b... Branches of Science 4, 5 and 6.pptx

ppt on the branches of science

1. Science is a systematic study of the nature and manners of an object and the natural universe that is established around measurement, experiment, observation and formulation of laws .

2. Science studies everything in that can be perceived by the senses as well as the things that we can think of – from the biggest objects up to the smallest objects around us.

3. This makes Science difficult to discover and study. But through the branches, scientists can now focus on a specific area to study about, thus, making it possible to study and observe almost everything in the universe.

4. Branches of Science

5. Anatomy the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms “Study of the structure of organisms”

25. Zoology also known as animal science, is the branch of biology devoted to the study of animal life. “Study of animals”

26. New Branches to learn

27. Aerodynamics  is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. It is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies . “Study of the motion of air that acts on bodies in motion”

28. Apiology Melittology is a branch of entomology concerning the scientific study of bees. It may also be called apicology . “Study of bees”

29. Brontology is the scientific study of thunder. All thunder results from lightning. A bolt of lightning rapidly heats the air around it, which causes the air to quickly expand and generate a sound wave we call thunder . “Study of thunder”
