Science combines books, labs to prove principles Science courses often combine book work with experiments to prove and apply principles. lt is not unusual to find the botany, conservation, or ecology classes spending the day outside to learn about nature. Zoology and biology dissect animals to learn about different body functions. Electricity, chemistry, physics, and physiology students develop experiments working with vectors, currents, motion, and motion patterns, chemicals, and charts dealing with the structure of the human body.
