science, science, science!
There are so many different types of science; physics, chemistry, earth science, space and astronomy, and biology. Today I'm going to tell you about each one.

Physics
Physics is a large category of science in which helps explain many day to day phenomena. The scientists that focus in this area of science are called physicists. Their job is to study many things such as light, sound, heat, electricity, motion, waves (not those that you do to your friends, many of the waves physicists’ study are not able to be seen by our eyes) as well as plenty more. Physicists are responsible for many inventions that have been helpful both in times of war but also in our everyday life. An example is Joan Maie freeman, who was part of a team who helped invent a 10cm microwave radar, which assisted many during the war. Other items that were invented by Physicists that are used in our everyday lives are: Light bulbs, electricity, thermometers, cars, planes, phones and even dynomite!

Chemistry
Chemistry is the part of science that is focused on finding out what is in different substances. These people are known as chemists and they study: matter, atoms and molecules. They measure proportions and rates to understand unfamiliar substances so they know how they behave or to create new things that will help us. Some australian chemists are; Elizabeth New, Milton Hern, Margret Shiel, Mary Garson, Colin Raston, Isabel Joy Bear and Paul Bottomly. To become a chemist you have to, complete a Bachelor degree in Science or Applied Science majoring in Chemistry, look to secure a place in an internship while studying and then build your specialisation in one or more branches of the science of chemistry through continuing education and relevant industry experience. After doing that you can become a chemist.

Earth science
Earth Sciences branch of science in which you deal with the physical constitution of the earth and the atmosphere. There are three main things that they study, geology, meteorology and oceanography. There are a lot of different names for people that study earth science because there are different areas that they study. For geology they are called geologists, for meteorology it is a meteorologist, for oceanography it is oceanographer. Some famous earth scientists are, Tim Flannlery, E.O Wilson, Sally Ride, Fred Hoyle and Otto Hahn. To become an earth scientist you have to have at least a Bachelor's degree, master's degree or doctorate for research and/or teaching.

Space and Astronomy
Space and Astronomy is the study of the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move and deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. A person that studies Astronomy is called an Astronomer. Astronomers' job is to try to understand how the universe works. They study the stars in an attempt to understand the sun and our solar system of planets were created and what will happen to them as they age. to be an astronomer you must learn physics, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics. You also have to have a bachelor's degree in physics, astronomy, astrophysics or a related field. Some famous Australian astronomers are: Lisa Kewley, Joseph Lade Pawsey, Ruby Payne-Scott, Ronald N. Bracewell and Ken Freeman.

Biology
Biology is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behaviour, origin, and distribution. a person that studies biology is called a biologist. There are three major branches that a biologist studies: botany, zoology and microbiology. A person that studies botany is called a botanist. Botanists study the biology of plants, fungi and other organisms, such as lichens and algae. Some Botanists may also search for and classify new plant species. Botanists study plants so they understand processes that are critical to us living and to the health of the planet. People that study zoology are called zoologist. Zoologists study animals so that we understand how we, ourselves interact with the world around us. Zoologists make a huge impact by studying evolution, and behavior/habits of animals. The last bratch is microbiology. A person that works in microbiology is called a microbiologist. A microbiologist is like a biologist but they study life that is microsized, that includes: algae, fungi, bacteria, and some parasites. Microbiology is very important because there they study bacteria and parasites, they can help stop diseases. To become a biologist you have to get a bachelor's degree in biology.
