Branches of Science
- Geology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Biology
- Astronomy
a branch of Earth science concerned with both the
liquid and solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time.
Geology
the scientific study of the properties and behavior
of matter. It is a natural science that covers the
elements that make up matter to the compounds composed of atoms, molecules and ions
Chemistry
the natural science that studies matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.
Physics
defined as the science of life and living organisms. An organism is a living entity consisting of one cell
e.g. bacteria, or several cells, animals, plants and
fungi.
Biology
a natural science that studies celestial objects and
phenomena. Objects of interest include planets
moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comet
Astronomy
CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
Agricultural Age. Comprising the pre-industrial technologies which are labor-intensive, small-scale, decentralized and
based on empirical rather than scientific knowledge.
First wave technology
CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
comprising the industrial technologies which were
developed since the time of industrial revolution
until the end of World War II. These are usually capital-intensive technologies and are essentially based on the classical principles of classical physics, chemistry and biology.
Second wave technology
CLASSIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
comprising the post-industrial or the high
technologies which are calledscience-intensive since
they are based on the modern scientific knowledge
of the structures, properties and interaction of
molecules, atoms and nuclei.
Third wave technology
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES
The most primitive of all societies
HUNTER AND GATHERER SOCIETIES
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES
Slash and burn farming
SHIFTING AND FARMING
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES
both depend on the natural resources of the world
to sustain the needs of people but both entail the risk of environmental damage.
AGRICULTURAL AND MINING SOCIETIES
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES
The use of coal. Marked the start of industrialization
MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING SOCIETIES
EVOLUTION OF SOCIETIES
production of synthetic food and other resources and recycling of nonrenewable resources.
SYNTHESIZING AND RECYCLING SOCIETIES
