A. Background Information for Learners

Natural science deals with the natural world. It is concerned with the phenomena and
objects of nature and the physical world. Natural science involves comprehension,
description, and prediction of natural phenomena using empirical and observational
evidence. Hypothesis formed in natural sciences must be verified scientifically to be
regarded as a scientific theory.
Natural science can be divided into two main branches known as biological science
(life science) and physical science. Biological science is concerned with living organisms
whereas physical science is concerned with the physical world. Physical science is divided
into sub-branches, including chemistry, physics, astronomy and Earth science. These
branches can be further divided into more specialized fields.
Natural science is one of the major categories of academic disciplines chosen by
students all over the world. This branch of natural science is often simply called science, or
scientific study. Many popular professions such as doctor, nurse, engineer, geologist,
astronomer, chemist, biologist, etc. require knowledge of natural science.
Social Science is a vast field that is concerned with the human society and the
relationships among individuals within it. This field also has a vast number of sub-fields such
as economics, geography, political science, anthropology, history, archeology, linguistics,
law, and sociology.
The beginning of Social Sciences as a field of study can be traced back to the
th
18  century. Social scientists use scientific methods that resemble those used in natural
sciences to understand the society; however, social critique and interpretive methods are
also used in social science.
Social science students can pursue professions such as lawyer, judge, social worker,
historian, archaeologist, journalist, writer, teacher, linguist, librarian, accountant, etc.
