WELCOME TO THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES!! What are the physical sciences? any of the natural sciences dealing with inanimate matter or with energy, as physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

WHAT IS PHYSICS? Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity . . . just about anything, honestly. How Physics Works? As an experimental science, physics utilizes the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses that are based on observation of the natural world. The goal of physics is to use the results of these experiments to formulate scientific laws, usually expressed in the language of mathematics, which can then be used to predict other phenomena. Why study physics? The entire universe is built upon the principles revealed by a study of physics. Because physics is the study of matter, energy, space and time, without which there would be nothing in existence to react or thrive or live or die.

WHAT IS CHEMISTRY? Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, how and why substances combine or separate to form other substances, and how substances interact with energy. Why study Chemistry? Every material in existence is made up of matter — even our own bodies. Chemistry is involved in everything we do, from growing and cooking food to cleaning our homes and bodies to launching a space shuttle. Chemistry is one of the physical sciences that help us to describe and explain our world.
