Studying Science


The curiosity of humans to know more about the
natural world has been observed throughout history. Humans have recorded their observations since time immemorial. These observations formed the basis of early scientific records.

 Modern science emerged in 16th and 17th century during the Renaissance in Europe. Before the Renaissance, almost all people believed whatever was told to them by the government and whatever was written in the religious scriptures
 without any question. The Renaissance gave birth to the questioning mind of the human being. It saw a more methodical and scientific approach to knowledge. The works of Galileo and Francis Bacon led to the emergence of modern science.

Biology


The word ‘biology’ is derived from the Greek Word bios meaning life and logos meaning the study and description of the life of animals and plants. Hippocrates and Aristotle were the first people to study life in a systematic and scientific manner.

Father of Medicine

Hippocrates is known as the father of medicine. He was a Greek philosopher and physician. He was the first philosopher of his time to make a clear distinction between medicine and philosophy. He practiced medicine purely on the basis of study and observations rather than philosophical assumptions. He travelled through Greece practicing medicine. His work laid the foundations of medicine.

Botany

Botany is the study of plant life. It is also called plant science, phytology, or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines.

Anatomy

Anatomy is the branch of biology that deals with the structure and organisation of living things.

Economics

Economics is a social science. It deals with production, distribution, and consumption of available resources. The word ‘economics’ is derived from the Greek word oikos, meaning ‘family, household, estate’, and nomos, meaning ‘Custom or law’. Therefore, economics means ‘household management’ or ‘management of the state‘. Economics has two broad branches:microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics deals with small units like household items or firms, while macroeconomics analyses the economy of a state or country as a whole.

Zoology

Zoology is a branch of natural science. It is concerned With the study of the animal kingdom. Scientists who study zoology are called zoologists. They conduct research to determine how animals carry out various activities. They also study how different species are related to one another and how species have evolved.

Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of plants and animals. Biochemists conduct research on molecules that occur in the cells of animals, plants, and other organisms.

Astronomy

Astronomy is the study of the universe including the Sun, the planets, and other celestial objects. It is studied by people called astronomers. Astronomers observe the universe and celestia bodies using telescopes and other equipment. They use their observations to understand how the universe was formed and has evolved over time.

Who invented the thermometer?

The first recorded  thermometer  was produced by the Italian, Santorio Santorio (1561-1636) who was one of a group of Venetian scientists working at the end of the Sixteenth Century. As with many inventions the thermometer came about through the work of many scientists and was improved upon by many others. 1596  Galileo Galilei and the first thermoscope Galileo Galilei is often claimed to be the inventor of the thermometer. However the instrument he invented could not strictly be called a thermometer: to be a  thermometer  an instrument must  measure temperature differences; Galileo's instrument did not do this, but merely  indicated  temperature differences. His instrument should rightly be called a  thermoscope . The Thermoscope The predecessor to the thermometer, the thermoscope is a thermometer without a scale; it indicates differences in temperature only ie it can show if the temperature is higher, lower or the same, but unlike a thermometer it cannot measure

Solar System The solar system is a group of celestial objects located in the Milky  Way Galaxy. it is made up of eight planets. namely Mercury. Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroirls. and several other smaller celestial bodies. Astronomers believe that the solar system is around 4.5 billion years old. The solar system is about 25,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. it is elliptical in shape and has the Sun at its centre. The solar system is always in motion. All the planets and celestial bodies move around the Sun in elliptical paths.  Sun   The Sun is a huge, glowing star. It is the largest and the most important object in the solar system.The Sun is composed of hydrogen, helium, and other heavier elements. It contains 99.8 per cent of the Solar system’s mass and is the main source of light and heat on Earth.  Planets   A planet is a celestial body that orbits

What is Microscope and who invented this amazing thing ?

Microscope A microscope is an optical instrument that is used to view objects that are invisible to the naked eye.Microscope use a combination of the images of very small objects. The first microscope were known as 'flea glasses' as they were used to view fleas or tiny creeping things.These microscope were simple tubes with a plate  and a lens at the ends.they magnified the image to more than 10 times the actual size. The first microscope the art of grinding glasses and making spectacles was known to people since the 14th century.the first microscope was made by Hans and Zacharias Jansen of the Netherlands in 1590.Hans and Zacharias Jansen were lens maker they made a microscope by placing two lenses in a tube Microscopy Microscopy is the science of examining small objects using microscope.the three branches of microscopy are optical microscopy,electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. Robert Hooke Robert Hooke was a British scientist. he lived i
