Laboratory experiments and observations help provide the basis on which students construct knowledge and increase their abilities in scientific reasoning. The topics to be included are the fundamentals of physics and chemistry. The course is designed to transfer as a laboratory science and qualifies as a general elective in the physical or biological sciences.
