Science Foundations Flashcards

Science Foundations covers the base-level vocabulary that shows up before you specialize: chemistry basics, cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and the scientific method itself, plus physiology and anatomy fundamentals. It covers different specific terms than the Essential TEAS Science Terms deck, across many of the same broad subject areas.

This is a good deck to work through early, before diving into the focused body-system decks, or as extra broad review once you've finished the flagship deck. Each card includes a clinical note connecting the science concept to nursing practice.
