natural sciences
Chemistry and peers
The natural sciences are fields of study concerned with the physical world and its phenomena—physics, chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy.
They rely on observation, experimentation, and empirical evidence rather than purely abstract reasoning.
The term distinguishes these disciplines from the social sciences (which study human behavior and society) and the humanities.
