I feel like these meanings of the kanji don't really correspond with it's usage in words like science etc. Some kind of mistake or is there an explanation for these meanings?

  科 is also used in 科目 which makes more sense to this kanji. I'm also not sure why this kanji is used in science 科学. I think 科 also means a field of study, so 科学 can mean a deep learning about a field of study.
