The Branches of Science

  • Physics – studies forces, energy and how

things move.

  • Biology – studies living things.
  • Chemistry – studies chemical reactions
  • Geology – studies the Earth
  • Astronomy – studies the planets, stars and

the universe

  • Ecology – studies how living things affect

each other.

Scientific Drawing

  • In Science clear accurate diagrams of pieces of equipment are needed.
  • These are some guidelines to remember:
    1. Always draw in pencil
    2. Straight lines are always drawn using a ruler
    3. Each item must be labelled
    4. Diagrams are drawn in two dimensions
    5. Draw diagrams large (¼ to ½ page each)
