NATURAL SCIENCE DPT. (Cont'd.) Science 101 - Physical Sciences - 3 units Science 202 - Biology - 3 units Science 203 - Earth Science (Physical Geography) - 3 units Science 304 - Science for the Elem. School Teacher - 3 units Science 305 - Physics - 3 units All the courses above meet four days a week; one or two hours are devoted to laboratory work. Besides these seventeen units which are required of students working for the BSE, there is offered additional Science Courses of 19 units leading to a Certificate for Teaching Elementary Science. Actually, if a student completes the basic requirements of seventeen units and the 6 units required in Health, he needs only an additional of 12 units to earn his certificate. A student may take these units as their electives. However, there are only 6 units for electives. The PNC Graduate School offers a Master of Arts degree with specialization in science. Since the summer of 1958, the Natural Science department has been conducting Summer Science Institutes in collaboration with the National Science Development Board and the Bureau of Public Schools To promote more science consciousness among students the Science Department has encouraged the organization of the Natural Science Club. The club promotes such projects as: 1. Science quiz programs 2. Annual science exhibits of locally-made equipment 3. Science club library Following are other activities and Projects: 1. Science Museum and other exhibits. The department has been developing a science museum. Simple equipment made of native materials are exhibited as well as for use. Teachers from all over the country have visited our museum. This museum eventually might expand to become a Science Center. 2. Extension Service - Besides the Saturday classes, faculty members have been invited in the field to help as resource persons, demonstrators, consultants, speakers, etc. in up-grading science teaching. 3. Participation in national and international conferences and organizations. Several faculty members have been encouraged to attend science conferences and conventions sponsored by:
