- acquaint students with the principal concepts and practices in the natural science disciplines
- help students develop an understanding of the scientific method and objectives of current natural science research
- develop the language skills of the students so that they can communicate at an appropriate level generally, and specifically, in the vocabulary of the natural sciences
- equip the students with the capacity to establish relationships between the principal elements and concepts of the natural science disciplines
- help students integrate the disciplinary knowledge into a coherent framework.
