The four major branches of science are mathematics and logic, biological science, physical science, and social science. Mathematics and logic deal with abstract concepts and are needed to form laws and theories. Biological science studies living things like animals and their development. Physical science includes categories like geology, physics, chemistry, and astronomy which study earth, matter, and celestial bodies. Social science examines human society and relationships through fields like anthropology, economics, and sociology.

1. What are the commonalities among different branches of Sciences?

The four major branches of science are, Mathematics and logic, biological
science, physical science and social science.

The first branch is mathematics & logic. Mathematics and logic deals with
abstract concepts. It goes hand in hand as both are needed in relation to
finding out how social sciences and natural sciences work. They are also both
needed in forming laws, theories and hypothesis. Even scientist needs this
branch of science, as they would not come to a conclusion without any
formulation.

Another branch of science is Biological science. This on the other hand deals
with the study of living things. Biological science is divided into different sub
topics. One of them is Zoology. It is a category under biology that focuses on
the study of animal life. The study includes, and are not limited to, evolution,
classification of both extinct and the living, structure and habits. Zoology also
deals with embryology, which is the study of the animals' development of the
embryo, from fertilization to foetus.

Physical science, the last in four major branches of science, has geology,
physics, chemistry and astronomy as its categories. Astronomy is the study of
the heavenly bodies, like the stars, galaxies, comets and planets, while
chemistry is the study of different substances, the changes they undergo and
their compositions. It can be divided as well into two, which are the organic
and inorganic chemistry. Physics is the study of matter and geology is the study
of the physical property and composition of the earth.

Social science is one of the four major branches of science. This on the other
hand is the study of the society and man's relationship to it. This study includes
Anthropology, which is the study of human behaviour and human development
that considers cultural, social and physical aspects. Economics is another
category under social science; this science studies goods and services, how they
are being manufactured, distributed and consumed. Sociology meanwhile is the
study of human society; it is more concerned in group activities and urban
studies. This study is part of the social science branch, although synonymous
when it comes to the name, sociology is more compound since it uses different
methods of critical analysis and investigation to come up with a conclusion.
