Topic in general means a 'theme' or 'a subject'. The word comes from the Greek and originally referred to 'a place', though that has broadened to include the 'place' in a general thought sense. Such as 'the topic for the debate'.

In science the word would essentially be synonymous with 'subject'.

Examples would include the general broad fields such as Geology, Physics, etc. Narrower topics would be magnetism, or measurements. (Strictly Metrology).
