<p>I recently was looking into colleges and i noticed that at clemson and college of charelston that they require 4 laboratory sciences, does this include physical science? Also I have currently taken physics, chemisty and biology and im a senior. What would I have to do if I needed another lab science?</p>
<p>I think it does include physical science, but you might be able to waive the course “requirements.”</p>
<p>Did your physical science course include “labs” – i.e., did you have to do hands-on experiments, following the scientific method of testing hypotheses? If so, it would count as a laboratory science.</p>
<p>The standard college prep science sequence in NYS is earth science, living environment (biology), chemistry and physics. All have seperate lab components so all are considered to be laboratory sciences. Earth science includes introductory material on geology, astronomy, meteorology and geography. Is that in any way similar to the physical science courses in your states or are those courses more of an introduction to physics?</p>
<p>Yes, we did do hands on experiments and tested the scientific method, In south carolina it was a required course to tak at the time when i was a freshman. Also this physical science class was like a general overview to science and an introduction to physics biology nd chemistry. Everything i learned in physical science i used in all of those classes.</p>
