Science Lecture Notes

What is Science?
Science is the study of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and evidence. It
helps us understand how things work and why they happen.
Branches of Science
1. Natural Sciences – Study of the physical world.
o Biology – Study of living things (plants, animals, humans).
o Chemistry – Study of substances and their reactions.
o Physics – Study of energy, motion, and forces.
2. Earth and Space Sciences – Study of Earth and the universe.
o Geology – Study of rocks, earthquakes, and Earth's structure.
o Meteorology – Study of weather and climate.
o Astronomy – Study of space, stars, and planets.
3. Applied Sciences – Use of science in real life.
o Medicine – Study of diseases and health.
o Engineering – Designing and building machines and structures.
o Environmental Science – Study of nature and how to protect it.

Scientific Method
Scientists follow a step-by-step process to study problems.
1. Observation – Noticing something in the world.
2. Question – Asking about what was observed.
3. Hypothesis – Making a guess (prediction) about the answer.
4. Experiment – Testing the hypothesis.
5. Analysis – Looking at the results.
6. Conclusion – Deciding if the hypothesis was correct or not.
Basic Scientific Concepts
1. Matter – Anything that has mass and takes up space.
o Solid, Liquid, Gas (States of Matter).
2. Energy – The ability to do work.
o Forms: Heat, Light, Sound, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical.
3. Forces and Motion – How objects move and interact.
o Gravity pulls objects down.
o Friction slows things down.
4. Living Things – Characteristics of life:
o Grow and develop.
o Need food and energy.
o Respond to their environment.
o Reproduce and adapt.
Importance of Science
 Helps in medicine and health.
 Improves technology and communication.
