Physical Science

Welcome to the Physical Science Home Page

Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science and science that study non-living systems, in contrast to the biological sciences. However, the term "physical" creates an unintended, somewhat arbitrary distinction, since many branches of physical science also study biological phenomena.

Possible Career Options:
Career opportunities may require advanced study. Physical Science majors will want to reflect on their interests, values, personal style & the skills. Consider the following possibilities:

  • Secondary Science Teacher
  • Tutor
  • Land Management Employee
  • Materials Tester
  • Laboratory Technician
  • Park Ranger/Interpreter
  • Water Resources Employee

The foundations of the physical sciences rests upon key concepts and theories, each of which explains and/or models a particular aspect of the behavior of nature. As in other sciences, these key concepts and theories came to discovery using the scientific method, which must be found using scientific evidence.
