This course uses an inquiry based investigative approach to explore and explain a range of relevant scientific topics. Climate change, vaccine development, cloning, and genetically modified organisms will all be explored. Laboratory experiments combined with class discussions will help to create critical-thinking scientists who understand and utilize the scientific method. These informed citizens will conduct independent research (including data collection and analysis), as well as assess and identify reliable data sources to make evidence-based decisions and dispel common misconceptions.
