Natural Sciences are a group of disciplines that focus on discovering, researching, and understanding the laws governing the natural world. All their efforts are focused on the analysis, description, and prediction of natural phenomena (e.g. magnetism, energy, chemical reactions, ecosystems). Experiments and observation are the basis of new discoveries – which are always supported by empirical evidence.
People who want to study Natural Sciences have a large number of subdisciplines to choose from, such as Applied Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Physics, Statistics, and others. These subdisciplines are categorised as either Life Sciences, like Ecology, Anatomy, and Botany; or Physical Sciences, such as Physics, Earth Sciences, Astronomy, or Chemistry.
