This thread gives a brief explanation of what each science is, the differences between them, and which ones you should study depending on your plans for the future
PHYSICS is a branch of science that studies the nature and properties of matter and energy. As my favourite physics teacher described it; Physics tells you the fundamental reasons to why thinks work.
CHEMISTRY is a branch of science that studies the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances. Basically it’s combining chemicals and making stuff explode /hj
BIOLOGY is a branch of science that studies living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. If it’s alive it’s biology.
Here is a non-exclusive list of what you should study, depending on your goals.
