Yes. In Biology, they taught it simply (i.e. an animal needs to consume calories in order to function. No hard math behind it since we haven't learned thermodynamics yet). In Chemistry, they went a little more into it teaching the basic thermo (1kcal heats up 1kg of water 1deg C). In AP physics, they taught us basic thermodynamics so it seemed pretty obvious. In college, it was a mixed bag. Since science wasn't a requirement for some majors, you had some kids who knew thermodynamics and some kids who looked at me like I was speaking another language.
