The differences between life sciences and physical sciences generally lie in the realm of the mathematics involved to define them. Life sciences typically are less grounded in pure mathematical theory and are the result of extensive experimentation and observational results. They can often have unexpected results due to the ever changing nature of living things. Physical sciences are much easier to define via mathematics, as they typically do not change but operate off highly repetitive phenomena whose behavior can be modelled in advance.

Life science studies (obviously) life. Science is the generic term for a group of studies.
Life sciences are in the Biology family: botany (plants), zoology (animals), microbiology, etc. Physical sciences are chemistry and physics, Earth Sciences, geology, climatology, etc.
Science disciplines differ from one another in terms of exactness. While some sciences can be absolute, such as chemistry, the science of psychology is nowhere near to being an exact science.

Pseudoscience does not follow the scientific method, lacks evidence or plausibility, and lacks scientific status.Pseudo means false or pretending, that means Pseudoscience is false science/ pretending to be science.
Science is focused on "how does this work". Philosophy is more about "but what if" and "why does this".
