Understand the difference between pure science and applied science. Pure science is about gaining knowledge for the sake of knowledge, while applied science uses that knowledge to solve practical problems.
Identify the options given in the problem and categorize them as either pure or applied science based on their descriptions.
Option 1: 'Investigating the properties of a newly discovered element' is an example of pure science, as it involves understanding the element's properties without a direct application.
Option 2: 'Developing a new medication to treat diabetes' is an example of applied science, as it involves using scientific knowledge to create a practical solution for a health issue.
Option 3: 'Exploring the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics' and Option 4: 'Studying the behavior of gases under different temperatures' are both examples of pure science, as they focus on understanding fundamental principles without immediate practical applications.
