I always found that quite strange about some countries. It's such a broad topic, it doesn't make sense as a single subject. Biology, Chemistry, Physics are all perfectly good subjects on their own.

Oh, it did get split into those three subjects, but that was later in high school, IIRC.

In the US, the science courses for lower grades, like grades k through 6, are usually sort of like survey courses. So there might be one unit of biology, one unit of some really basic physics stuff, one about space, etc. Once you get into higher grades it will change over to a whole course on biology followed by chemistry the next year or whatever.

This was my favorite also. I love knowing how and why things work so all science was naturally interesting to me. Math was a close second since it felt like doing puzzles which was very satisfying. English and history were my least favorite since it involved a lot of memorization or creativity which I lack.
