    Physical science involves asking questions about the natural world through observation and experimentation. It has four main branches: physics, which studies matter and energy; chemistry, which studies interactions between different forms of matter; geology, which studies the origin and structure of Earth; and astronomy, which studies everything beyond Earth's atmosphere. Physical science is fundamentally concerned with understanding the relationship between matter and energy in physical systems.

    INTRODUCTION

    to
    PHYSICAL SCIENCE
    LEARNING GOALS:
    explain that science involves
    asking
    questions;
    describe the relationship of
    matter and energy to physical
    science; and
    discuss the four main branches
    of physical science
    Most objects around
    you spend a great
    deal of time sitting
    quietly without
    motion..

    is..
    ❖the process of gathering
    knowledge about the natural
    world
    ❖this is done through making
    observations and asking
    questions
    Why do things
    stand still?
    Why do things
    move?

    Science begins with


    curiosity and ends with
    discovery…

    1. PHYSICS - A MATTER OF ENERGY!

    - a branch of science that studies


    MATTER and ENERGY
    - Motion, force, electricity, light and
    heat
    - Scientists who are experts in physics
    are called
    PHYSICISTS.
    2. CHEMISTRY - A MATTER OF REACTIONS!

    - the study of all forms of matter,


    including how matter interacts with one
    another

    This pattern displayed in the periodic table helps us


    understand atoms, chemical reactions, formulas,
    compounds, atomic mass, and other concepts of the
    periodic table of elements.
    3. GEOLOGY
    ⮚ the study of the origin, history, and
    structure of Earth.
    Geochemist are geologists who apply their
    knowledge of heat, force, and chemistry to
    understand how rocks and soil change over
    time.
    4. ASTRONOMY
    ⮚ the study of everything in the universe
    beyond Earth's atmosphere

    What is the relationship of matter and
    energy to physical science?
    ❖ Energy and matter characterize both
    physical and biological systems
    ▪ These systems are defined
    both by the types of energy
    and matter they contain
    and how that matter and
    energy move through
    between systems

    …energy and matter can


    change forms but cannot be
    created nor destroyed (Law of
    Conservation of Energy)
