Branches of Science for Science Projects

Science is at work all around us. The various branches of science that you can use for a science experiment are Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. Biology is the science of the living things. The subject is further demarcated into Zoology or the study of animals. You can derive that from the use of the word “zoo” in the name of the science branch.

Botany or the study of plants is the other branch of Biology. You can base your science project on what you observed about plants and animals around you. This would mean that you used Biology as the base of your project. Biologists are also responsible for cutting edge technology such as genetically modified plants and animal clones. Remember the sheep Dolly?

With Chemistry you have two main branches. Organic Chemistry which deals with carbon based chemical compounds and Inorganic Chemistry which deals with all other sorts of chemical compounds. However my favorite is Physics. There are many different branches in Physics. If you study the movement of heavenly bodies in the starry sky above it is Astrophysics.

If you study tiny molecules and atoms which are so small that they cant be seen by the naked eye, you are studying Atomic Physics. As you can see the scope of the subject is really vast from the minuscule to the magnificent. From pure theory to pure practical, you can do a lot with the many sub branches of Physics. Here’s one example that you can use as a science project.
