Branches of Science

Agriculture – The science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

Astronomy – The branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.

Biology – The study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution.

Botany – It is also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology.

Chemistry – The branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.

Engineering – The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

Forestry – The science or practice of planting, managing, and caring for forests.

Genetics – The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.

Geology – It the science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.

Mechanics – The branch of applied mathematics dealing with motion and forces producing motion.

Metallurgy – The branch of science and technology concerned with the properties of metals and their production and purification.

Meteorology – It is the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather.

Oceanography – The branch of science that deals with the physical and biological properties and phenomena of the sea.

Optics – The scientific study of sight and the behavior of light, or the properties of transmission and deflection of other forms of radiation.

Paleontology – The branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants.

Physics – The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms.

Thermodynamics – The branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy.

Volcanology – The scientific study of volcanoes.

Zoology – The scientific study of the behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and distribution of animals.
