General Science is useful for a number of careers such as technical jobs in construction, medicine, lab work, education and so on. General Science is good for students who are interested in science, but don't know yet what area they want to specialize in. People who communicate about science should have a broad background in many subjects, which is appropriate for General Science.
 * General Science and Careers**

Lab Technician Science Writer Elementary school teacher Field work Researcher or research assistant Nursing Market research Pharmacy tech Youth counselor or camp instructor ...and many others
 * Possible Careers for General Science**

Mutlidisciplinary projects are appropriate for a science generalist. The physics of muscles, for example, uses information from more than one area of science and may not be within the skill set of people who specialize only in physics or only in physiology. You need both.
 * Project Ideas**

Science buddies provides a large number of project ideas in many different areas of science. Some general science ideas that have been done in the past here at DV include:

Water testing quality of area swimming pools: How much chlorine is too much? How precisely can you determine north by examining moss on the amphitheater steps? What is the energy efficiency of a PS3? Can we design a bottle that uses less plastic than the traditional bottle?
