More About Science

Science is the systematic study of the natural world using observation, experimentation and evidence to develop and test explanations about how the universe works.
The major branches of science include physics, chemistry, biology, Earth science, astronomy and environmental science, with many specialised fields and interdisciplinary disciplines.
Science improves our understanding of the world, drives technological and medical innovation, informs evidence-based decision-making and helps address global challenges such as disease, climate change and sustainable development.
