3 Course Overview is a basic intermediate course intended to expose students to the designs and patterns in God s physical universe. This course expands on the Science 600 course, providing a set of basic scientific skills and a broad survey of the major areas of science. Some of the areas covered in include the scientific method, overview of the four major areas of science, mathematics in science, astronomy, the atmosphere, natural cycles, weather and climate, human anatomy and physiology, and careers in science. The course seeks to develop the student s ability to be aware of and participate in scientific inquiry. The units contain experiments and projects to capitalize on the students natural curiosity. The student will explore, observe, and manipulate everyday objects and materials in their environment. Students at this level should show understanding of interrelationships between organisms, recognize patterns in systems, and expand their knowledge of cellular dimensions of living systems. Collectively, this should help students develop and build on their subject-matter knowledge base. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to do the following: Use their main senses for observation of the world around them. Demonstrate a knowledge of the different tools and methods used in science. Calculate and convert units in the metric system. Discuss historical and current views on astronomy. Describe the atmosphere and the weather around the earth. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the different systems in the human body. Unit 1: What is Science? 1. Course Overview 9.
