The Nature Trail
is located behind the North College Center at Mineral Area College.
It has received a much needed renovation thanks to Kyle Black and the General Services Staff at the college. The Nature Trail page shows before and after pictures.
The Science Department encourages all to use the trail for a short nature hike.
After the frost it is promised to be a bug fee walk! |

Our
Department:
The
goal of the Science department is to develop students' understanding
of the principles and laboratory procedures of life and physical
sciences and to cultivate their abilities to apply the empirical
methods of scientific inquiry. It is important that students develop
an understanding of how scientific discovery changes theoretical
views of the world, informs our imaginations, and shapes human
history. It is also necessary that students develop an understanding
of how science is shaped by historical and social contexts.
Our students will learn
how to use the scientific method and how to develop and test hypotheses
in order to draw defensible conclusions. They will learn how to
evaluate scientific evidences and argument. They will learn how
to describe not only the basic principles of the physical universe,
but also the concepts of the nature, organization, and evolution
of living systems. They will also learn how human choices have
affected the earth and living systems.
Degree
requirements:
Students earning an
Associates of Arts degree are required to take at least 8-credit
hours of science. Typically a student will take at least two science
classes. A student is required to take one life science class
and one physical science class. One of these classes must have
a laboratory component.
