BIOLOGY 160 - Life in Sight:Investigations under the Microscope

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Some of the most interesting and aesthetically fascinating aspects of life are just out of human sight, but within our reach using simple stereoscopic microscopes. The underlying goal of this course is to use the microscope for making inductive observations about living things, asking questions, and generating deductive hypotheses. With class themes in functional biology as a guide, students use pre-prepared and self-prepared slides of microscopic organisms and parts of larger organisms to generate questions and hypotheses about "how things work."
