Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge"

[1]
) is a systematic enterprise that builds
and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about
the universe.
2.
a. Natural science is a branch of science that seeks to elucidate the rules that govern
the natural world by applying anempirical and scientific method to the study of the universe.
The term natural sciences is used to distinguish it from thesocial sciences, which apply the
scientific method to study human behavior and social patterns; the humanities, which use
acritical, or analytical approach to the study of the human condition; and the formal sciences.
b. Physical Science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science and science
that study non-living systems, in contrast to the life sciences. However, the term "physical"
creates an unintended, somewhat arbitrary distinction, since many branches of physical
science also study biological phenomena.
c. Biological science the science that studies living organisms
d. The social sciences are the fields of scholarship that study society. "Social science" is
commonly used as an umbrella termto refer to a plurality of fields outside of the natural
sciences.
e. Applied science is the application of scientific knowledge transferred into a physical
environment. Examples include testing a theoretical model through the use of formal science
or solving a practical problem through the use of natural science.

physical universe as a whole.
Oceanography- the branch of science that deals with the physical and biological
properties and phenomena of the sea.
