What constitutes laboratory science in high school?

Question

I'm looking at colleges and the different requirements. There is one college that requires 3 science credits and all 3 have to be laboratory science. So far I have earth science and biology and I'm taking marine biology next year. I'm a rising senior and I need to know if I have what I need to qualify.

Answer 1

Earth science is not usually considered laboratory science. You should take chemistry or physics to make sure you have all the lab science courses you need. Usually colleges want biology, chemistry and physics.

Answer 2

it means that the science classes that you took must have included a lab.

I took a Physical science class that was only lecture no lab,

then i took a biology class with a lab.

so guess which  one counted?
