| Learning outcomes |

The subject is a basic theoretical introduction to the problems of natural sciences, which are part of the educational area of Human and Nature. A hierarchical approach is used from the description of the universe to the particular natural habitats and organisms that surround us. The interrelationships between the different levels and the need for a complex view are emphasized. It also includes the acquisition of basic terminology for the description of nature around us.
Theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field. |
