Level III Science
Introduction
Although practical, hands-on experiments are not always specified in the learning
objectives, the recommended science texts offer a variety of practical laboratory work
which should be used. The experimental work which is done will vary, of course,
with the facilities available at the institution offering the program. However, students
should appreciate that science is based on experimentation. They should be
offered, to the extent possible, a full program of practical work designed to
emphasize the important process of problem-solving through experimental science in
the laboratory. At the same time, they should learn some important techniques,
develop essential skills and abilities, become aware of the need for accuracy and
precision, and adopt good working habits in terms of health and safety in the
laboratory.
Field work studies and investigations play a vital role in science, and should be
undertaken with relevance to the subject content. The use of the local environment
for field studies and hypothesis testing is recommended. Through their own practical
work students should acquire a good, first-hand knowledge of the materials and
methods of science. Students should tackle a wide range of qualitative and
quantitative laboratory and field work that should be related to the important
scientific concepts specified.
Science has undergone some general revisions, in addition, there have been some
new courses added.
