•  Science is the process by which we learn about the natural universe by observing, testing, and then generating models that explain our observations. 

  •   The physical universe is so vast, there are many different branches of science

                         

1. What aspects of nature are studied in

Physics? 

  • Physics is the natural science that is concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. 

Biology? 

  • Biology is the natural science that studies about the living things 

Geology?

  •  Geology is the natural science that studies about study of rocks and the earth. 

Geochemistry?

  • Geochemistry is the study of the processes that control the abundance, composition, and distribution of chemical compounds and isotopes in geologic environments.

  Biochemistry?

  • Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living matter.            

Physical chemistry? 

  • Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the application of the techniques and theories of physics to the study of chemical systems.

2.    What are the regions of an overlap between 

Chemistry and biology? 

  • Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes occurring in living matter.  

Chemistry and physics? 

  • Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the application of the techniques and theories of physics to the study of chemical systems.

Chemistry and geology?
