Students will learn the basics of science, scientific method, and how to properly conduct an experiment. They will spend most of their time participating in hands-on experiments helping them observe, analyze, and test their scientific predictions. Students will study many geologic specimens that include fossils, rocks, and minerals and biology concepts will be introduced, which includes cells, the structure of DNA, and the classification of life. A thorough study of the human body systems will then conclude the course.
