Branches of Science

Life ScienceAny of several

branches of science that deal with living organisms and their

organization, life processes, and

relationships to each other and their environment

Earth ScienceAny of several

essentially geologic sciences that are concerned

with the origin, structure, and

physical phenomena of the

earth

Physical ScienceAny of the

sciences that analyze the nature and

properties of energy and

nonliving matter

Make Foldable

Once you are satisfied that you have correctly identified both the

fields of study as well as tools used, cut them out and glue to the appropriate place on your Branches of Science foldable

Reflection page 14 Look at the learning targets for our

current unit (back of 2nd page) and identify what branch of science we will be studying

Next, draw a picture of you (the scientist) using some of the tools you might use as that type of scientist
