1 Credit Hour(s)
A series of virtual/science kit laboratory experiments including but not limited to experimental design, microscopy, cells/cell structure, cell membranes, enzymes/chemical reactions, mitosis, meiosis, and genetics. Students will relate topics learned in lectures to a laboratory setting, use the scientific method to answer questions relevant to biology, follow instructions to complete assigned experiments and report the required results, perform relevant mathematical calculations required to complete the laboratory, use a spreadsheet to create graphs representing data obtained from the experiment, create electronic reports summarizing data, and drawing required experimental conclusions as well as a video display of how they conducted the lab for the science kits. This course is exclusively for students in the CALL nursing program. In addition, this course may not be used to substitute for any Biology laboratory or lecture course, nor can it be used to satisfy any prerequisites, corequisites, or requirements for any of these courses without permission of the department head of the student’s major.
