Is Home Economics a science subject?

Home economics, while encompassing practical skills, isn't strictly a science subject in the same way biology or chemistry are. It's more accurately described as an applied subject that draws upon various scientific principles. For example, it uses principles of:

* Chemistry: in cooking, cleaning, and understanding food preservation.

* Physics: in understanding the mechanics of sewing, appliance operation, and energy efficiency.

* Biology: in nutrition, food safety, and understanding the growth of plants (gardening).

* Psychology: in family dynamics, consumer behavior, and personal finance.

However, it doesn't focus on developing scientific theories or conducting experiments in the same way core science subjects do. It's more about applying scientific knowledge to everyday life. So the answer is a qualified no, but it heavily relies on the principles of various sciences.
