Biology 1 heavily features laboratory investigations, making scientific inquiry central. You’ll engage in research, measurement, and problem-solving, utilizing diverse lab equipment and technologies while mastering experimental and safety procedures. We’ll have weekly hands-on labs or field experiences, allowing you to directly interact with natural phenomena or analyze data. These labs are crucial for understanding the complexities of empirical work, developing skills to calibrate and troubleshoot equipment, recognizing measurement error, and effectively interpreting and presenting your findings.
