YHSC 33 - Integrated Science

1 to 5 Credits
The specific content of Integrated Science courses varies, but they draw upon the principles of several scientific specialties – earth science, physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics – and organize the material around thematic units. Common themes include systems, models, energy, patterns, change, and constancy. These courses use appropriate aspects from each specialty to investigate applications of the theme.
