This course covers a wide range of topics taught in a one-semester course. Generally, the Natural Science CLEP™ exam will fulfill a science requirement for non-science majors. Covering the knowledge of many natural phenomena, the exam requires an understanding of the basic principles and concepts of science. Of interest, is the interdisciplinary aspect of the exam. Questions will occasionally address not just the ‘facts’ of science, but also the philosophy of science and its history and the relationship of science to addressing problems in our world.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”18625″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

• Knowledge of fundamental facts, concepts, and principles
• Interpretation and comprehension of information presented in the form of graphs, diagrams, table, equations, or verbal passages
• Qualitative and quantitative application of scientific principles, including applications based on material presented in the form of graphs, diagrams, tables, equations, or verbal passages; more emphasis is given to qualitative than quantitative applications

Mechanisms such as peer review and repeatability of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of scientific advances.

Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science and physical science. Life science is alternatively known as biology, and physical science is subdivided into branches: physics, chemistry, astronomy and Earth science. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches (also known as fields). As empirical sciences, natural sciences use tools from the formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, converting information about nature into measurements which can be explained as clear statements of the “laws of nature”.*
