Step-by-step solution for: Main branches of Science interactive worksheet
Let’s go step by step to solve each part of the task.

Question 1: What are the branches of Life Science?
Life Science is the study of living things — plants, animals, ecosystems, and how they interact.
From the given options:
- Botany → study of plants → ✔ Life Science
- Zoology → study of animals → ✔ Life Science
- Ecology → study of how organisms interact with their environment → ✔ Life Science
Others:
- Astronomy → space → Physical Science
- Physics → matter and energy → Physical Science
- Chemistry → substances and reactions → Physical Science
- Meteorology → weather → Earth/Physical Science
✔ So correct answers for Q1: Botany, Zoology, Ecology
---
Question 2: What are the branches of Physical Science?
Physical Science studies non-living systems — matter, energy, forces, space, weather, etc.
From the options:
- Physics → ✔ Physical Science
- Chemistry → ✔ Physical Science
- Astronomy → ✔ Physical Science (study of celestial objects)
- Meteorology → ✔ Often grouped under Earth Science, which is a branch of Physical Science in many curricula
Others:
- Botany, Zoology, Ecology → Life Sciences → ✘ not Physical Science
✔ So correct answers for Q2: Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorology
*(Note: Some schools may exclude Meteorology from core Physical Science, but since it's listed here and fits better than life sciences, we include it.)*

Question 3: Identify the elements in the following pictures
First picture: Sunset over green hills — shows landscape, sky, sun, terrain.
This relates to:
- Meteorology → because it involves weather/sky/sunlight patterns
- Possibly Ecology → if considering ecosystem of grasslands, but less direct
- Not really about animals or plants specifically → so not Botany/Zoology
- Not chemistry/physics/astronomy directly (though sun is astronomical, the focus here is earthly scene)
Best fit: Meteorology (weather/atmosphere) and maybe Ecology (environment), but let’s see what matches best.
Looking at second picture: Chipmunk eating nuts on wood.
Clearly an animal → Zoology
Also, it’s interacting with its environment (food, habitat) → could be Ecology
But primary identification: Zoology
Now back to first image — sunset over hills.
If we must pick one most relevant from the list:
→ The sky, sunlight, atmosphere → Meteorology
Alternatively, if thinking broadly about natural systems → Ecology
But note: In many school contexts, landscapes + weather = Meteorology; living communities = Ecology.
Since there’s no visible community interaction (just scenery), Meteorology is safer.
Wait — actually, looking again: both images have multiple possible links, but we need to choose based on strongest association.
Let’s reassign carefully:
Picture 1 (sunset/hills):
- Shows landform + sky → could relate to Earth science → Meteorology (atmospheric conditions)
- Also, vegetation present → Botany? But not focused on plant study
- No animals → not Zoology
- Not lab-based → not Chemistry/Physics
- Sun is star → Astronomy? Too indirect
Best match: Meteorology
Picture 2 (chipmunk):
- Animal behavior → Zoology
- Eating food in environment → also Ecology
But since question says “identify the elements”, likely expecting main subject.
Chipmunk = animal → Zoology
However, some might argue ecology too — but zoology is more specific to the organism itself.
In standardized tasks like this, usually:
- Animal photo → Zoology
- Landscape/weather → Meteorology or Ecology
Given that, let’s finalize:
✔ Picture 1 → Meteorology
✔ Picture 2 → Zoology
*(Alternative interpretation: If curriculum groups all nature scenes under Ecology, then Picture 1 could be Ecology — but meteorology is more precise for atmospheric phenomena like sunset lighting. We’ll stick with Meteorology for Picture 1.)*
Actually — wait! Let me double-check common classifications used in middle/high school worksheets.
Often:
- A field with grass and sky → considered part of Ecology (ecosystem view)
- Weather-specific (clouds, rain, wind) → Meteorology
Sunset isn’t really “weather” — it’s daily cycle due to Earth’s rotation → which is astronomy? Hmm.
But again, too indirect.
Perhaps safest:
Picture 1: Green rolling hills with sunlight → represents a terrestrial ecosystem → Ecology
Picture 2: Chipmunk → Zoology
Yes — that makes more sense pedagogically.
Because:
- Ecology includes habitats, landscapes, interactions between living and non-living parts.
- The hillside has soil, plants, air, sunlight — all components of an ecological system.
Whereas meteorology focuses on short-term atmospheric processes (storms, temperature changes, precipitation).
Sunset is predictable daily event — not really “meteorological”.
So revised:
✔ Picture 1 → Ecology
✔ Picture 2 → Zoology
That aligns better with typical educational material.
Final decision after careful review:
Q1: Botany, Zoology, Ecology
Q2: Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorology
Q3 Pic1: Ecology
Q3 Pic2: Zoology

Final Answer:
1- Botany, Zoology, Ecology
2- Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorology
3- First picture: Ecology; Second picture: Zoology
