This course covers the first two modules with an emphasis on experimental chemistry. The module on electricity is covered in the Physics course. The first part of this course introduces analysis of experimental data throughout the study of light. The particle and wave models are considered to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, etc. The study leads to the introduction of magnetism and electricity.
Field theory leads to simple electrodynamics and circuit analysis.
The last section of the course introduces kinematics. Students will increase their knowledge of science by examining biological phenomenon as well as their effects on society. The course will present students with the opportunity to learn biology through exploration, experimentation, and discussion in both a laboratory and field environment. This course helps students to develop the skills and attitudes essential for future studies in biological studies. The course uses the problem solving method of doing laboratory work.
