| Course Title: General Science | Credits: 3 credits |
| Number: 10-806-107 | Prerequisites: None |
| Description: General Science is divided into three units: 1. Scientific Tools and Methods, 2. Introduction to Chemistry, 3. Introduction to Biology. In unit 1, students convert measurements, design tables and graphs, create models, and use the scientific method. In unit 2, students interpret a model of the atom and use the periodic table. They distinguish physical, chemical, and nuclear changes and identify properties of common compounds. They analyze chemical equations and relate technical applications to chemical properties. In unit 3, students examine basic cell structure and function. Students trace the development of body systems. They apply technical applications to human anatomy and physiology. | |
