How is science related to life?
Scientific knowledge can improve the quality of life at many different levels—from the routine workings of our everyday lives to global issues. Science informs public policy and personal decisions on energy, conservation, agriculture, health, transportation, communication, defense, economics, leisure, and exploration.

What are the four branches of life sciences?
Science Based On Organisms This division focuses on the study of individual branches of life. There are four primary categories: botany, human biology, microbiology and zoology.
Which branch of science will you study if you are interested in electricity?
Physics
What are the 2 main branches of physical science?
The two main areas of physical science are chemistry and physics. Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, proper- ties, and reactions of matter. Physics is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between the two through forces and motion.
What came first physics or chemistry?
I generally take it that there are only 3 basic sciences, physics, chemistry and biology. I take logic to be the philosophical framework and the background for the observation of the universe.
Which is harder physics or chemistry?
I wouldn’t say that physics is necessarily any harder than chemistry, it’s just that by virtue of the way that it’s taught, physics is harder. Introductory chemistry is less mathematical than introductory physics and for this reason many people will find introductory chemistry to be easier.
Can biology exist without chemistry?
Clearly biology doesn’t owe it’s existence to chemistry, neither does chemistry to physics. Biology, chemistry, physics and maths all developed independently and existed for centuries until the connections between them were drawn.
What comes first chemistry or biology?
The most logical sequence is physics, then chemistry, and then biology. This takes you up the hierarchy from the the most basic to the most complex. Much of chemistry is applied physics (physical chemistry), and much of modern biology is biochemistry/molecular biology.
