This course provides students with an introduction to earth science, biology, chemistry and physics. The course is structured to emphasize laboratory, hands-on and small group activities to develop problem solving and a basic understanding of the concepts and principles of science. Students select appropriate scientific tools, make relevant measurements of changes in natural phenomena, and present unbiased findings in logical and meaningful formats using charts, maps, tables, models, graphs, and labeled diagrams. Students apply mathematics to scientific investigations and experimentation(s) for the purpose of quantifying results and drawing conclusions. Students interpret experimental results and determine whether further information is necessary to formulate accurate conclusions. They communicate results through various methods, and use technology where appropriate
