Life Science
“If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.” The Life Science portion of our curriculum focuses on recognizing the characteristics of all living things and how to classify organisms based on their similarities and differences. We practice microscopy skills to identify life on the tiniest levels so we can build up from that to view life on a larger organism level.
