We humans aren't nearly as smart as we generally
want to
think we are. Real science reminds us of this simple fact, but it also
provides a way for learning more—a little bit at a time.
From General Science to Theoretical Astrophysics,
the College of Science at Free-Ed.Net offers free courses and
other study resources for all major science disciplines. Most
learners in this college are here to supplement their formal studies
or to refresh and expand their understanding of science topics
learned at some earlier time. A few a here to preview the kinds of
courses they might face in college-level science courses. Finally,
there is this mere handful of learners (contributing scholars)
who actually believe they can use this knowledge to make a serious
contribution to science and the welfare of humanity—even
without possessing the traditional credentials.

General Science
- General Science Studies
- History of Science
- Philosophy of Science
- Science and Society
General Science at Free-Ed.Net is composed of two
separate components. First, there are the science
courses that survey the entire topic, most often in a
general, non-mathematical way. Such programs are
intended for learners who need some understanding of
science, but plan to pursue studies that refer to little
or no scientific background. The second component
includes non-scientific works that are not scientific in
nature--the history, philosophy, and ethics of science,
for example.

Astronomy
- General Astronomy
- Solar System Astronomy
- Stellar & Galactic Astronomy
- Cosmology & Astrophysics
A general program that focuses on the planetary,
galactic, and stellar phenomena occurring in outer
space. Includes instruction in celestial mechanics,
cosmology, stellar physics, galactic evolution, quasars,
stellar distribution and motion, interstellar medium,
atomic and molecular constituents of astronomical
phenomena, planetary science, solar system evolution,
and specific methodologies such as optical astronomy,
radio astronomy, and theoretical astronomy

Biology
- General Biology
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Microbiology
- Molecular Biology
- Marine Biology
- Evolution
- Zoology
- Botany
- Biochemistry
Biology instructional programs at Free-Ed.Net focus
on the life sciences and the non-clinical biomedical
sciences.

Chemistry
- General Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Biochemistry
A general program that focuses on the scientific
study of the composition and behavior of matter,
including its micro- and macro-structure, the processes
of chemical change, and the theoretical description and
laboratory simulation of these phenomena.

 |
Earth Sciences
- General Earth Science
- Geology
- Meteorology
- Oceanography
- Environmental Science
This is a program that focuses on the scientific
study of the earth; the forces acting upon it; and the
behavior of the solids, liquids and gases comprising it.

|
 |
Physics
- General Physics
- Classical Physics
- Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics
- Electromagnetic & Optical Physics
- Relativity
- Quantum Mechanics
- Astrophysics
- Mathematics for Physics
Physics focuses on the scientific study
of matter and energy, and the formulation and testing of
the laws governing the behavior of the matter-energy
continuum.
