This 90 minute course covers several branches of science including astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, earth study, geology, paleontology, and environmental science, giving students an overall solid foundation in science. In class, students will benefit from hands-on experience and lab work in groups. Labs serve to further demonstrate and solidify concepts discussed in class and in the textbook.
