Introduction to scientific investigation through, project-based studies of biological phenomena., Topics in this hands-on course introduce students, to experimental design, data collection, data, analysis, hypothesis testing, and scientific, communication.
Cilia: Movement to Sensation (Dr. Gewin). This section will explore the formation and function of cilia. These cellular appendages mediate cell swimming and act as antenna, enabling cells to sense their environment. Students will: (1) read and discuss published research on this topic, (2) design and carry out their own research projects using two popular model research organisms Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Caenorhabditis elegans, and (3) share their results with the rest of the class.
