General Science Foundations: Essential Chemistry and Biology

The fundamentals of chemistry and biology are essential for understanding the world around us, yet many people find science intimidating without proper conceptual grounding. This course provides a solid conceptual framework in two core scientific disciplines. You will move beyond simple facts to grasp the principles that govern atoms, molecules, organisms, and ecosystems, building a strong base for further scientific study or general knowledge. What you'll learn: * Understand the structure of atoms, the periodic table, and basic chemical bonding principles. * Analyze fundamental concepts of organic chemistry and the biochemical reactions essential for life. * Master the structure and function of cells, the fundamental building blocks of all living things. * Apply knowledge of genetics, inheritance patterns, and basic molecular biology concepts. * Learn about ecological relationships and the core principles of environmental science. * Practice interpreting scientific terminology and reading conceptual explanations confidently. The course begins with foundational definitions and terminology in chemistry, progressing through chemical reactions and states of matter, before shifting focus to the principles of biology, covering cellular structure, genetics, and organism functions. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior science background. If you are starting your journey in science or need to refresh your fundamental knowledge, this text-only course is perfect for you. Start reading today and unlock the fundamentals of general science.
