There are 6 Tanaka sentences, and they're all senses 1 0r 3 but it's hard to tell.

  Comments:
"School" here refers to pre-tertiary education. (Sense 2 refers to university). Science lessons taken by middle/high school students are known by the name 理科 (as opposed to 科学).

理科 and 科学 aren't exactly synonymous which is why I don't think a single "science" gloss is sufficient.

  Comments:
wouldn't "science course" be sense 3?

also, i'm quite happy to just gloss this as "science" without any sense splitting at all

I do think these are quite distinct senses.
