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