This manual provides hands-on experiments in physical science. The experiments will give confirmation to what was learned in the course GSC 1103 Studies in Physical Science. The experiments will investigate subjects in physics, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, geology, and ecology. This laboratory manual introduces students to scientific principles as applied to their environments. Access to a computer with a CD-ROM drive is required to play the CD-ROM that accompanies this course. (This course has replaced GSC 1111 Studies in Physical Science Laboratory.)

Students are encouraged to complete this laboratory course within the same period of enrollment as GSC 1103 Studies in Physical Science for a total of four credits.
