Three Primary Objectives • Develop the skills necessary to participate in science. This includes learning how to read and write scientific material, being able to implement the scientific method to gain knowledge about the world (including the appropriate design of experiments), learning how to interpret graphical representations of data in the context of the questions and experiments that produced the data, and learning to answer the “why” and “how” of things in terms of physical mechanisms of action. • Develop the skills necessary to become independent learners and thinkers. This includes, again, learning to read and write scientific material as your develop good study habits that will lead you to success in any class, as well as in life. • To be curious and inquisitive about the biological concepts described above, and to develop a basic understanding of what we as scientists have learned about these topics.
