The study of Science is all inclusive. It requires a good background in Mathematics, Metrics, and a general understanding of the world around you as well as good powers of observation. There are very few disciplines that are not touched in the study of Science. Many students make the mistake of believing that Science in nothing but the memorization of a list of facts. Good test grades without understanding and long term learning is virtually worthless. I would rather a student have a "B" in my class than for them to walk out in May not knowing any more than they knew when they arrived in August. My goal is to instill learning in my students that will serve them into college and beyond.
