matter, its constitution and properties
mechanics, which includes statics and dynamics, and treats of the action of forces on material bodies
acoustics, which treats of the phenomena of sound and its laws, etc.
heat, which treats of the effects produced by the force of the form of energy known as heat
optics, which treats of all connected with the phenomena of sight
electricity and magnetism, which treat of the agency of electricity and phenomena caused by it, and of the laws of magnetic force
