Course Description

This course builds a broad understanding of aspects of Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Space Science and Physics.

Biology connects students to the world they are living in and reminds them of their interconnectedness with all other life forms. By studying Biology, students learn to make informed decisions about their own health and about significant biological issues.

Chemistry enables students to understand the properties of different materials and to transform materials into new and useful substances. It gives them understanding on which to base educated choices about consumer products and management of resources.

Earth & Space Science develops the understanding of the interaction between Earth and space systems. By studying Earth & Space Science, students will appreciate the abundant and complex life on Earth and how the relationship between the systems affects humankind and how that is vital for our survival. 

Physics helps students understand why things in the natural world happen the way they do. The knowledge and processes used by Physics can be used to approach any scientific problem.

The SCI 100 course will equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to undertake Level Two Science subjects of their choice (subject to prerequisites).
