blurb

Science is a way of knowing the world around us. This course will help students to become scientists by asking them to work in small groups on several scientific problems. The projects will involve multiple disciplines and may combine elements of physics, biology, computer science, chemistry, and/or mathematics. Each will require creative experimental design, data collection and analysis, and probing thought about the confidence with which the results can be claimed as knowledge. In addition to honing their statistical skills, students will gain facility in the written and oral defense of scientific results.
This is a required course for sophomores likely to do Plan work in any area of the Natural Sciences and will be open to other students at the discretion of the instructors.
