Physical Science

In physical science, learning is focused on the behavior of matter and energy. Specifically, students learn about the structure and properties of matter, the changes matter undergoes, the types of energy and their interactions, and the origins and evolution of the universe. By understanding these concepts, students gain a better appreciation for the natural world and the role humans play in it.

Learning physical science involves studying the nature and properties of matter and energy. This includes topics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and nuclear physics. A strong foundation in mathematics is necessary to properly understand and apply the concepts learned in physical science.

Physical science is sometimes divided into branches, each of which specializes in a particular subject area. The main branches of physical science are astronomy, chemistry, earth science, and physics.
