Conduct of Science

Conduct of Science is a Physical Science course. This course is a basic science course, not a course about basic science. The course provides the student the opportunity to be immersed in science experientially. Major emphasis is placed on the learner demonstrating understanding via experimentation. Topics included are observation and description, controlled experiments, multi-element experiments, hypothesis development, model development, scientific measurement, graphing techniques, and scientific reasoning. Basic scientific tools are utilized with attention to expected accuracy and precision.
