It has been a common word in the world today. Yeah, I mean the word “science“. The word has been confused with terms like technology, inventory and Agriculture, but the truth is, science really encompasses the above words. It is a broad and very important part of the world today that we all need to understand.
Science is the study of our natural, physical and abstract environment. It studies nature, the visible things and those that are invisible. All these are achieved through adequate observations and research. For example, we observe that during the day, the movement of the tips of leaves of a plant is different from at night and we will want to know the reason behind that.

There are so many benefits of studying science as well as few disadvantages which is mainly as a result of inadequacy on human part. We need to know the branches of science or perhaps areas of studies under science. These areas are
. Biology
. Chemistry
. Physics
. Astrology
. Agriculture
. Technology
There are other branches of science actually, but these are common ones that deeply impact our daily lives.
Biology is the study of living things. It is simply study of life. It is one of the pure sciences and an integral part of science that tells us how living things are organized and how they function. We get to learn the morphology, anatomy and physiology of living things.

Chemistry and Physics are grouped together under the physical sciences. Chemistry studies matter, the structure, composition and uses of matter. Physics studies matter and energy and the relationship between them. The knowledge of Physics and Chemistry has really helped in areas of technology, agriculture and so on.

Astrology involves studying the galaxy. There are several thousands of galaxies and this is not so much for an astrologist as they have vast knowledge of the principle of astrology. This branch adequately helps us to know the planet we live in and other things related to the earth.
Agriculture involves the cultivation of the land for crops and rearing animals, all for the benefit of man. This branch of science makes us healthy people because it provides the food we need to grow. The effect of good agricultural practices cannot be overemphasized in the present.
Technology is a practical approach to science through experiments and interventions. Technology puts to good use what we have learned in science. It provides a clear physical way of understanding science. This accounts for the reason why the duo are put together, I mean Science and Technology.
It is really a great thing to know and understand the principle of science and from the above explanations, we are aware of what science entails and what we can learn from studying science. Let us put to good use that knowledge.
