Question

Science has been broadly classified into three branches, namely physics, chemistry and biology. These branches of knowledge too are further classified. Why do you think the classification of branches of knowledge is necessary?

Accepted Answer

The systematic study of the natural world, based on facts learnt by careful observation and experimentation is called science. Science has been broadly classified into three parts because science is a very vast subject, it includes many things about the physical, chemical and biological world. So this classification is very essential for a systematic understanding of each topic in depth. A systematic classification provides a convenient approach that is necessary to make its study easier.

The three branches of science, chemistry, physics and biology are further classified into their sub-branches. This classification is necessary for a detailed understanding of the subject. For example, chemistry is a vast subject that it is not easy to deal with it a whole. So, on the basis of certain properties of substances and how to deal with them, it is divided into many groups. These groups are called the branches of chemistry. Similarly, biology is subdivided into separate branches for the convenience of study, though all the subdivisions are interrelated by basic principles. In the field of physics, it has evolved so much more that it has further developed branches of its own for a better understanding of each and every topic.
