**Science** is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable

explanations and predictions about the universe. It involves observing, experimenting, and modeling to
understand natural phenomena. Science is divided into several major branches:

1. **Natural Sciences**: These study the natural world and include:

- **Physics**: The study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of nature.

- **Chemistry**: The study of substances, their properties, and how they interact.

- **Biology**: The study of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, and
ecology.

2. **Social Sciences**: These focus on human behavior and societies, including:

- **Psychology**: The study of the mind and behavior.

- **Sociology**: The study of societies, social relationships, and social institutions.

- **Economics**: The study of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

3. **Formal Sciences**: These involve abstract systems and include:

- **Mathematics**: The study of numbers, quantities, and shapes.

- **Logic**: The study of reasoning and argumentation.

- **Computer Science**: The study of computational systems and algorithms.

4. **Applied Sciences**: These apply scientific knowledge to practical problems, including:

- **Engineering**: The application of scientific principles to design and build structures, machines, and
processes.

- **Medicine**: The science of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease.

**The Scientific Method** is a key aspect of science, involving steps such as:

1. **Observation**: Gathering data and noticing patterns.

2. **Hypothesis**: Forming a testable explanation.

3. **Experimentation**: Testing the hypothesis through controlled experiments.


4. **Analysis**: Interpreting the results to draw conclusions.

5. **Publication**: Sharing findings with the scientific community for validation and further study.

Science evolves over time, with new discoveries building on previous knowledge, making it a dynamic
and ever-changing field.
