Physical or Biological Science: Chemistry?

Hey guys, quick question: In regards to high school courses, do we classify chemistry as a physical science or a biological science? I'm just trying to figure out my science course plan. Thanks!

Hey there! Chemistry is generally classified as a physical science. Physical sciences focus on non-living systems and phenomena, while biological sciences mainly focus on living organisms and their interactions. So, as you plan your high school science courses, you can consider chemistry as a physical science, along with subjects like physics and earth science. On the other hand, biological sciences include subjects such as biology, environmental science, and anatomy.

It's great that you're planning your science course path, and I hope this information helps!
