Trivium Academy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes and no, life science tends to be geared for younger ages (K-4, life cycles and such) and biology (5th and up) includes more in-depth material such as microbes and anatomy of cells.

Nestof3 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 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."

dragons in the flower bed Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 nt 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.
