NOTE: Below are some PPT outlines of some sciences, with some Chinese translations. They are far from complete, but do offer at least some important vocabulary so students will be able to understand and talk about some of the basic elements of these sciences. I will be expanding this list of sciences as time permits.
ANTHROPOLOGY
Anthropology is the science of humanity (people).
There are four main branches: Cultural, Physical, Archeology and Linguistic Anthropology.

ARCHITECTURAL (建筑学 jiànzhùxué) History
(NEW! I researched and wrote it this summer, 2012)
From the pyramids to the modern era, I looked at Chinese, European and Islamic architecture.
I didn't look much at modern architecture because the history was too long.
Hopefully I'll have time to research and write a "Modern Architecture" PPT in the near future, if any students are interested in it.
