SCI 2080 - Explorations in Life Sci

In this course we will explore our natural world, and develop a conceptual understanding of core life science ideas that are appropriate for teaching children in grades K-6. This includes concepts which cut across all the sciences. At the same time, we will engage in a variety of scientific and engineering practices, through hands-on activities integrated with the subject-matter. The course uses a range of teaching methods, including an inquiry-based approach and active-engagement. You will learn to apply core scientific ideas to solve problems and explain interesting aspects of our natural world. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 2: Exploration and Discovery – Science and Technology Category.
