Physics and chemistry, say (8)

I believe the answer is:

sciences

(Other definitions for sciences that I've seen before include "maths, physics etc" , "Physics and chemistry, say" , "Branches of knowledge and skilful techniques" , "Branches of knowledge dealing with substances, animal and vegetable life and natural law" , "Biology and physics, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
