Advanced Animal Science
Advanced Animal Science examines the interrelatedness human, scientific, and technological dimensions of livestock production. Instruction is designed to allow for the application of scientific and technological aspects of animal science through field and laboratory experiences. In this course, you will be able to explore the different careers associated with agriculture and animals. Science, as defined by the National Academy of Sciences, is the "use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as knowledge generated through this process." Students should know that some questions are outside the realm of science because they deal with phenomena that are not scientifically testable.
Prerequisites: Recommended for grades 11-12, Required: successful completion of Biology AND Chemistry OR IPC, Algebra I AND Geometry, AND either Small Animal Management, Equine Science, OR Livestock Production. Recommended prerequisite: Veterinary Medical Applications.
Credit: 1 Unit
This course will count for an Advanced Science Elective - Students must meet the 40% lab and field work requirement.
