Sample topics are likely to include: current developments in animal behavior, genetics, nutrition, the environment, health and medicine, and applications of physics. Topics are addressed in a way that enables students to construct a framework of key scientific concepts and make connections to human life through consideration of the applications of basic scientific principles. In the laboratory, students become involved in the process of doing science, by working in small research teams to design and implement lab exercises aimed at answering specific questions, which also provides the opportunity to develop an appreciation for how science works. Satisfies the natural science laboratory requirement.
