Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science

and science that study non-living systems, in contrast to the biological


sciences..

Physics (Greek: physis – φύσις meaning "nature") a natural science, is the


study of matter[1] and its motion through spacetime and all that derives from
these, such as energy and force.[2]

Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem), meaning "earth"[1]) is the science


concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter, as well
as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.

Geology (from Greek: γη, gê, "earth"; and λόγος, logos, "speech" lit. to talk
about the earth) is the science and study of the solid and liquid matter that
constitutes the Earth. The field of geology encompasses the study of the
composition, structure, physical properties, dynamics, and history of Earth
materials, and the processes by which they are formed, moved, and changed.

Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον), "star", and nomos
(νόμος), "law") is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars,
planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the
Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation

Biology (from Greek βιολογία - βίος, bios, "life"; -λογία, -logia, study of) is
the science that studies living organisms. Prior to the nineteenth century,
biology came under the general study of all natural objects called natural
history.

Botany, plant science(n), phytology, or plant biology is a branch of biology


and is the scientific study of plant life and development.
Microbiology (from Greek μῑκρος, mīkros, "small"; βίος, bios, "life"; and
-λογία, -logia) is the study of microorganisms, which are unicellular or cell-
cluster microscopic organisms.[1]

The social sciences comprise academic disciplines concerned with the study
of the social life of human groups and individuals including anthropology,
communication studies, economics, human geography, history, political
science, psychology and sociology.

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. It consists


of "social relations involving authority or power"[1] and refers to the
regulation of a political unit,[2] and to the methods and tactics used to
formulate and apply policy.[3]
Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and
consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the
Ancient Greek οἰκονομία (oikonomia, "management of a household,
administration") from οἶκος (oikos, "house") + νόμος (nomos, "custom" or
"law"), hence "rules of the house(hold)".[1

History is the study of the past, with special attention to the written record of
the activities of human beings over time.

Applied science is the application of knowledge from one or more natural


scientific fields to solve practical problems. Fields of engineering are closely
related to applied sciences

Engineering is the discipline and profession of acquiring and applying


technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge in order to design and
implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes
that safely realize a desired objective.

The term architecture (from Greek word αρχιτεκτονική, pronounced


architektonike) can refer to a process, a profession or documentation.

As a process, architecture is the activity of designing and constructing


buildings and other physical structures primarily to provide shelter.

Medicine is the art and science of healing. It encompasses a range of health


care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and
treatment of illness.
