Overview

The course introduces students to the basic phenomena school sciences and identifies different types of plants, animals, and distinguishes between types of environmental systems. It trains the students in the use of science laboratories and basic natural phenomena (light and sound, heat, properties of matter, electricity, modern physics); biology (plant and animal science), different types of plants and animals. The course also identifies types of ecosystems and the relationships between living organisms, which leads to adopting a culture of environmental protection.
