The four main branches of pure science are: Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.
Science as a whole subject can now be split into three different branches: Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences and Life Sciences.
• Physical science.
Physics - The study of the interactions of energy and matter. Physics also covers subjects such as time, light and gravity.
Chemistry - The study of the properties, composition, structure and reactions of matter.
Astronomy - The study of the Universe and what lies beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
• Biological science.
Geology - The study of the history, origin and the structure of the Earth, including the biological, physical and chemical changes that the Earth has experienced, is currently experiencing or will at some point in the future.
Meterology - The study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, such as the Earth's climate and weather.
Oceanography - The study and exploration of the ocean and the creatures that live there.
Paleontology - The study of all forms of life that existed in geologic or prehistoric times.
• Life science.
Botany - The study of plants and their uses.
Genetics - The study of genes and the role that they play in our bodies.
Medicines - The study of diagnosing, treating and preventing disease, illness and injury.
Zoology - The study of animals and animal life.
