Definition: Natural Science

Natural sciences study naturally occurring objects, phenomena, and the physical laws that govern them. 

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Characteristics

  1. Universal Laws: The principles discovered apply everywhere in the universe.

  2. Laboratory Testing: Experiments can be repeated under controlled conditions.

  3. Quantifiable Results: Findings can be measured and expressed in numbers.

  4. Objective Analysis: Results remain the same regardless of who conducts the experiment.

Examples

  • Mathematics: The language of patterns and relationships (2 + 2 = 4 anywhere in the universe).
  • Physics: Study of matter, energy, and motion (gravity works the same on Earth and the Moon).
  • Chemistry: Investigation of substances and their interactions (water always boils at 100°C at sea level).
  • Biology: Examination of living organisms and life processes.

Real-Life Application

When engineers design bridges, they use physics principles that work the same way every time, ensuring the bridge won't collapse regardless of location. 

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Key Point Summary

Natural Sciences study the physical world using controlled experiments that produce universal laws.
