Classify science topics into Physical, Life, and Social categories with this interactive worksheet.

Problem Overview:

The task is to classify various topics into three main categories: Physical Science, Life Science, and Social Science. The goal is to match each topic with the appropriate sub-branch of science based on its nature.

Given Topics:

- Botany
- Sociology
- Zoology
- Geography
- Psychology
- Biology
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- Astronomy
- Economics
- Medicine
- Anthropology
- Earth Science

Categories:

1. Physical Science: Deals with the study of non-living matter, energy, and their interactions.
2. Life Science: Focuses on living organisms, their structures, functions, growth, evolution, and distribution.
3. Social Science: Studies human behavior, societies, and social relationships.

Solution Approach:

We will analyze each topic and determine which category it belongs to based on its focus:

#### 1. Physical Science:
- Physics: Study of matter, energy, and their interactions.
- Chemistry: Study of substances, their properties, and reactions.
- Astronomy: Study of celestial objects and phenomena.
- Mathematics: Fundamental language of science, used in all branches but primarily associated with physical sciences.
- Earth Science: Study of the Earth's structure, processes, and systems (includes geology, meteorology, oceanography).

#### 2. Life Science:
- Botany: Study of plants.
- Zoology: Study of animals.
- Biology: General study of living organisms.
- Medicine: Application of biological principles to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases.
- Earth Science (partially): While Earth Science is broader, aspects like ecology and biogeography fall under Life Science.

#### 3. Social Science:
- Sociology: Study of human societies and social relationships.
- Psychology: Study of human behavior and mental processes.
- Geography: Study of the Earth's surface, including human activities and environments.
- Economics: Study of how societies allocate resources.
- Anthropology: Study of human cultures, societies, and biological origins.

Classification:

#### Physical Science:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Astronomy
- Mathematics
- Earth Science

#### Life Science:
- Botany
- Zoology
- Biology
- Medicine

#### Social Science:
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Geography
- Economics
- Anthropology

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{l}
\textbf{Physical Science:} \quad \text{Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Mathematics, Earth Science} \\
\textbf{Life Science:} \quad \text{Botany, Zoology, Biology, Medicine} \\
\textbf{Social Science:} \quad \text{Sociology, Psychology, Geography, Economics, Anthropology}
\end{array}
}
