When it started Branch of Science Definition


4th century BCE Physics is the study of how physical
systems interact with one
another. Gravity, light, and
time are among the topics
studied by physicists. The
Theory of Relativity was
created by Albert Einstein,
a famous physicist.

9th century Chemistry Is the study of matter's


composition, properties,
reactions, and structure.
Pasteurization, for
example, is the practice of
heating liquids such as milk
and orange juice to destroy
hazardous microorganisms.
It was discovered by
chemist Louis Pasteur.

6th century BC Astronomy is the study of anything


outside of Earth's
atmosphere in the universe.
This includes objects visible
with the naked eye, such as
the Sun, Moon, planets, and
stars. Galileo's observations
of the Moon, Venus' phases,
Jupiter's moons, sunspots,
and the knowledge that the
Milky Way Galaxy is made
up of seemingly
uncountable individual
stars prompted the
beginning of modern
astronomy.
4th century BC Geology is the study of Earth—its
interior and exterior
surfaces, the rocks and
other materials that
surround us, the processes
that have resulted in their
formation, the water that
flows over the surface and
lies beneath it, the changes
that have occurred over
geological time, and the
changes that we can expect
to occur in the near future.
Geology is a science, and to
understand geological
problems, we employ
deductive reasoning and
scientific procedures. The
founder of modern geology
is James Hutton, a Scottish
farmer and naturalist.

371–287 BCE Botany The study of plants,


including their structure,
characteristics, and
biochemical activities, is a
discipline of biology. Plant
taxonomy and the study of
plant diseases and
interactions with the
environment are also
covered. Botany is credited
to Theophrastus, a Greek
philosopher who studied
with Plato before becoming
an Aristotelian student.

12th century Zoology (also known as animal


science) is a branch of
biology concerned with
animal life. It encompasses
everything from the
structure of organisms to
the cellular level of life.
Aristotle is known as the
"Father of Zoology"
because of his significant
contributions to the field,
which include a vast
amount of information
about the diversity,
structure, and behavior of
animals, as well as the
analysis of many elements
of living things and the
beginnings of taxonomy
science.

350 BC Meteorology is a field of atmospheric


science that covers
atmospheric chemistry and
physics, with a strong
emphasis on weather
forecasting. Meteorology is
a branch of science that use
physics and chemistry,
among other tools, to better
understand the Earth's
atmosphere, its processes,
and its structure.
Meteorology was written by
Aristotle in 350 BC.
Aristotle is often considered
to be the father of
meteorology.

late 19th century Oceanography Oceanography is the study


of the ocean using
chemistry, geology,
meteorology, biology, and
other fields of science.
Climate change, pollution,
and other causes are
endangering the ocean and
its marine life, so it's
especially vital now. Walter
Munk was an Austrian-
born American
oceanographer who laid the
groundwork for modern
oceanography with his
pioneering investigations of
ocean currents and wave
propagation.
1866 Genetics is the study of how features
like hair color, eye color,
and illness risk are passed
down (“inherited”) from
one generation to the next.
Genetics has an impact on
how these inherited
qualities vary from person
to person. Gregor Mendel,
known as the "Father of
Genetics," discovered the
fundamental laws of
inheritance while working
on pea plants.

1879 Psychology is a science and a profession


dedicated to figuring out
how people think, feel, act,
and learn. The study of
conscious and unconscious
events, as well as feelings
and thinking, is included in
psychology. In 1879,
Wilhelm Wundt founded
the Institute for
Experimental Psychology at
Leipzig University in
Germany. In
fact, Wundt is commonly
considered
the father of psychology.
