Given this particular question, it could be said that there are two catgories of sciences in this list; the first, meteorology, is one of the main branches of what is known as Earth sciences. These sciences study both intellectually and through pactical activities, those phenomena and events that affect our physical planet, in its atmosphere, surface, or even outside the atmosphere. The others: Anthropology, Sociology and Graphology, since they focus more on studying humans, their story, their actions and interactions, and their development through time, are better known as Social Sciences.

Science is defined as the activity that uses both the intellect and specific practical activities, in a systematic and methodological way, to give explanations to the events, and situations, that surround the human being and the natural world. Science then uses observation, method and experimentation, as well as theoretical knowledge, to give these explanations.

Science, is science and its methodology has been proven almost infallible when giving explanations to physical and natural events that take place inside, and outside, the planet. However, I believe that it can be a bit obtuse when it comes to matters that are not physically visible, or provable, and this is where it can fall short in its purposes.

Other areas of science, like meteorology, sociology, anthropology and graphology, are all qualified science field, because at the basis it does follows the scientific method, so it is possible to always verified the results of the experiment or to have quantity data that permits to make hypothesis and theories that can be proven.

The conclusions that are possible to draw about the definition of science are that science is an umbrella term to define all those fields that follow a common mind set, a way to discover and prove new things, with similar methodologies. in one word, the scientific method is at the base of what is called science.
