  2.   Natural and Physical Sciences
The goal of the natural and physical sciences is to better understand nature. The natural and physical sciences systematically study natural phenomena. They do so by observing nature, by collecting and analyzing data, by forming, testing, and revising hypotheses, and by developing theories.


Learning outcomes for students completing the Natural and Physical Sciences requirements are:

• Understanding what the realm of science is, and why science is important to their lives.
• Comprehending current principles and theories used to explain natural phenomena and understanding the role of theories in science.
• Seeing science as a process of conducting systematic observation, formulating and testing hypotheses, collecting and evaluating data, recognizing sources of error and uncertainty in experimental methods, and disseminating results.
• Developing an understanding of how human activity affects the natural environment.
• Making informed judgments about science-related topics and policies.
