We live in a world that is rich in natural resources, flora, and fauna. Natural Science is a discipline that aims to understand the working of such physical creations. The study of processes we find in nature is its main objective. The existence of this subject is to help humans investigate and explore natural occurrences in nature that we already observe but cannot explain. If you are a person who loves to learn and who has a keen interest in nature and the physical aspects of our universe then this is an excellent choice of study. In today’s world, people are constantly trying to find the meeting ground between science and religion, Natural Science studies the quantitative data of said meeting ground through the study of formal sciences and then applying them in the real world to natural processes. Biology, chemistry, and physics are the main branches of Natural Sciences. However, other subjects like geology, earth science, astronomy, and biochemistry are also natural sciences.
