NSCI 333: Inquiry: PBL in Life Science

Course Description

A problem-based learning course suitable for prospective or practicing elementary and middle-school teachers who major or minor in integrated science studies. This course builds on and reinforces content learned at the introductory level by applying life science concepts to complex real-world problems presented in class. Students will work in small groups to identify and research concepts and principles they need to know in order to progress through the real-world life science problems. The case studies used will require the understanding and application of concepts in cell structure and function, genetics, animal and plant physiology, and ecology. (F).
