These courses offer the student a realistic understanding of the effect which the sciences have had upon our culture and the individual. Laboratory work provides experience in careful observation, reflective thinking, and other elements of the scientific method. The study of human structure and function is essential to understand human behavior. Thus it is related to the work of social science. Field trips give the student an appreciation of the varied forms of life and the importance of conservation. 26
