Online Colleges for Science

Science is commonly divided into the biological sciences and the physical sciences. The biological sciences, such as botany, marine biology and genetics, are devoted to the study of living things, from the tiniest plants to the biggest whales. As the name suggests, the physical sciences deal with the physical world, everything from the the behavior of subatomic particles to the movement of the planets. Physics, astronomy and chemistry are among the physical sciences. There is also a distinction between basic and applied science. Basic science seeks to answer the biggest -- the most basic -- questions, like where life came from. Applied science is all about harnessing scientific knowledge and know-how to create new drugs, airplanes, fertilizers, fabrics, you name it.
