Math Across the Life Sciences

Catalog description

In this non-clinical advanced level course, students examine the major concepts of the application and use of math and identification and manipulation of variables in life sciences. The major concepts include: applying mathematical modeling to a variety of concepts; using statistical concepts to model and predict; identifying and manipulating variables. The student may develops multiple engaging activities and lesson plans to teach middle or high school children details within the major concepts. Students create formative investigations and assessments related to the major concepts as well as satisfy summative assessment requirements. Students plan an integrated/thematic unit with lessons that align with Next Generation Science Standards.
