Learning Outcomes
Chemistry: Students will acquire basic knowledge of chemistry to use in their other subjects. They will participate in laboratory work, learning about the use of laboratory instruments and other equipment. They will take soil samples and determine the amount of phosphate in the soil and its pH value. Students will be competent in analysing, evaluating and reporting their results.
Physics: Students learn the basic laws of physics - the concepts of mechanics and thermodynamics
Student's Workload
Will be announced at the beginning of the course.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
No previous studies are required.
