BIOS 2700 - Everyday Biology: Cells


This is an introductory level laboratory and discussion course for future teachers and non-majors. Students develop an understanding of key biological concepts (including cells and cell reproduction, genetic inheritance, and molecular processes). Students develop an understanding of the nature of science and scientific inquiry through investigations and reflective discussions. Through experiences in this course, students are expected to become reflective and knowledgeable about “what is science” and “what scientists do”. Connections of course concepts to everyday life are made through a study of current socioscientific issues involving biotechnology, by looking at the historical development of ideas and by assessing the implications of technology on society. Typical topics include DNA analysis, cloning, and gene therapy.

Credits: 3 hours
