Science usually refers to a course of study that includes introductory material
for all of the major physical, biological, and earth sciences. Courses
within a general science credential may include a broad range of topics such as
biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and geography. Science
is an organized system of knowledge about the physical world, based on
observation, measurement, and experiment. Western Science is based on the
scientific method, which is a specific way in which our understanding of the
world is formed. The two-year
