Revolutionary Science (SCEN111) is a course designed to
empower non-scientists to explore transformative ideas in science. As
students discover current and historical controversies in the scientific
community, they practice interpreting data, drawing conclusions,
developing informed views, and debating those views based on their
assessments. Students exercise the process of science during the
laboratory by designing experiments, gathering data, and drawing
conclusions to help them solve problems. As a result of their inquiry
experiences in the lab, students relate to and reflect on the processes
that scientists regularly engage in.
Ultimately, this course aims
to help students improve their scientific literacy. Students learn
across a variety of topics such as history, philosophy, physics,
chemistry, microbiology, and genetics. As a result, students are able to
engage in informed discussions where these concepts overlap, such as
climate change, genetically modified organisms, alternative energy
sources, disease, and medicine. After completing this course, the
students are better able to evaluate science-based events and make
informed decisions that impact their future.
