Pure science, also known as basic science or natural science, is the development of scientific theories and predictions in three broad subjects: Chemistry, Biology, or Physics. It is research that doesnt consider how these theories can be applied but is used to answer questions or phenomena. Pure science is not focused on the practical applications of the observed or demonstrated truths or facts. It usually takes place in a laboratory setting. Pure science is the source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. Those who study a pure science qualification can work in roles such as scientist, researcher, or academic.
