Science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its ​phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In ​general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations ​of fundamental laws.

Science can be divided into different branches based on the subject of study. The physical ​sciences study the inorganic world and comprise the fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, ​and the Earth sciences. The biological sciences such as biology and medicine study the ​organic world of life and its processes. Social sciences like anthropology and economics study ​the social and cultural aspects of human behavior.

Science entails a thorough examination of the behavior of the physical and natural world. ​Research, experimentation, and observation are used in the study.

The scientific disciplines are diverse. The social sciences, formal sciences, and natural ​sciences are some of them. Subcategories and sub-sub-categories have been created from ​these basic categories. The natural sciences include physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, ​and astronomy; the social sciences include history, geography, economics, political science, ​sociology, psychology, social studies, and anthropology; and the formal sciences include ​computer science, logic, statistics, decision theory, and mathematics.

Three Branches of Science

Modern Science is mainly constituted of three main branches, i.e. Natural Sciences, Social ​Sciences, and Formal Sciences as these three areas peruse the nature of our world and the ​universe most broadly.

Thus, the three main branches of Science are:

Natural Sciences

Social Sciences

Formal Sciences

Natural Sciences

Natural Sciences are the core of the branches of science as study the nature of our physical ​world and the universe.

Social Sciences

Social Sciences study human societies from across the globe as well as the relationship of ​human beings with their social environment.

Formal Sciences

Formal Sciences is quite a unique area of study in Science as it uses formal systems to ​produce knowledge and explore the nature of different disciplines ranging from Mathematics, ​and Logic to Computer Science and Information Technology.

The experts in various branches of science have continually been studying the subject deeply ​and experimenting with different aspects to come up with newer theories, inventions and ​discoveries. These discoveries and inventions have made life easier for us;

INTRUDUCTION AND MEANING:-

The word Physical Education is derived from two separate ​words, 'Physical' and 'Education'. The plain dictionary meaning of word physical ​is 'relating to body', it may relate to any one or all of the bodily characteristics. ​It may be physical strength, Physical endurance, Physical fitness, Physical ​appearance or Physical health. The word 'Education' means systematic though ​instruction or training or preparation for life or some particular task.

A combined meaning of these two words would be that systematic instructions ​or training which relate to physical activities or programme of activities ​necessary for development and maintenance of human body, development of ​physical powers, or cultivation of physical skill.

"Physical education is education through physical activities for the development ​of total personality of the child and its fulfillment and perfection in body, mind ​and spirit."

SCOPE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION:-

Physical education includes all individual and team games. In a team games ​one player is sure to lend help other members. There are several games which ​fall in this category. These are Football Hockey, Volleyball, Kho-Kho, Wrestling ​and athletics it also includes swimming. Self-defence activities-There ​physically, is certain games and exercises which are primarily meant to protect ​us. Boxing, Wrestling, Horse- riding, Archery, Judo and sword fighting.

AIM OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION:-

"Physical education should aim to provide the skilled leadership, ​adequate facilities and ample time for affording full opportunity for individuals ​and groups to participate in situations that are physically wholesome mentally ​stimulating and satisfying and socially sound."

VALUE AND IMOPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION:-

1. Physical development-Physical exercises lead to Physical development of the ​human body. These exercises have effect upon the digestive system, respiratory ​system of the body and also upon the growth of muscles.

2. Mental development-Next to physical mental development is the most ​useful. An individual has to grow both physically and mentally. He needs to ​develop mental powers so that he may think and decide.

3. Social development-We require physical development for the social ​development. Man is social animal. He cannot live alone, but has to live in the ​company of others. Physical education helps in developing an attitude to live in ​company.
