Is Life Science the same as Biology? Thanks. nt


Recommended Posts

I don't mean to sound argumentative, but I think they are technically the same thing -- meaning biology is a science that studies life (anything living), but publishers tend to, as Jessica pointed out, call the younger grade level material "life science" and the older grade level material "biology."

Life sciences is used as an umbrella term to cover biology and ecology and their subdisciplines (zoology, botany) and applications (medicine, agriculture), just like physical science is used as an umbrella term to cover chemistry and physics and their applications (engineering, electronics), and earth science is used as an umbrella term to cover meteorology, geology, astronomy and oceanography.
