Content: This one-semester survey course will focus on four areas of science. Introductory topics in geology, astronomy, chemistry, and physics will be explored in four separate units of study. Laboratory experiments, hands-on activities, and computer simulations will be used to explore practical applications to everyday phenomena and effective decision-making in these four areas of science.
Activities: Laboratory experiments, hands-on activities, computer simulations, readings, projects, and field trips.
Cost: An approved pair of safety goggles, and a basic function calculator.
