Science is a way of systematically gaining knowledge and understanding of natural phenomena.  The Science Department offers various courses to enable students to become active and productive members of a scientific\/technological society.  Students will observe, ask questions, identify problems, perform experiments, analyze data, and draw appropriate conclusions.  All courses are college preparatory; however, many students select courses that prepare them to pursue advanced scientific studies in college and science-related careers.  Three years of science are required for graduation.  To meet the wide range of interests and abilities of our haum\u0101na, we offer Advanced Placement courses and fundamental courses that emphasize investigative approaches to the subject matter.  Four years of science are recommended for students interested in pursuing science-related careers, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, and engineering.  Most colleges recommend two years of laboratory science: one biological science and one physical science.  At the University of Hawai\u2018i, it is preferred that applicants complete three years of laboratory science.  As a department, we recommend the course progression: biology, chemistry, and physics.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
