Explain the fundamental principles and generalizations of biology. Use the scientific method in problem solvin Describe chemical and physical reactions as they relate to biology. Apply biological principles to new situations. Make a scientific drawing and correctly label the drawing including the appropriate scale of the object drawn. Interpret data from a scientific experiment and formulate conclusions. Use the laboratory to formulate ideas relating to a scientific experiment. Explain a laboratory experiment including recording of data, calculating and developing conclusions. Diagram the principles of genetics and the various common types of inheritanc Describe the important energy forming and releasing processes of organisms. Compare and contrast the structure and function of cells and organelles. C. HOURS AND UNITS 5 Units INST METHOD TERM HOURS UNITS Lect Lab Disc D. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION (TYPICAL) Instructors of the course might conduct the course using the following method: Instructors will use lecture and lab demonstrations to explore specific objectives. Insructors will incorporate hands-on use of microscopes, anatomical models and cadaver specimens to explore anatomical structures. Instructors will incorporate hands-on experience with physiological instruments such as spirometers and electrocardiographs, and computer simulations to explore physiological processes. Instructors will use assignments requiring students to compare and explain similarities and differences in anatomical structures. Instructors will use assignments requiring students to explain processes and theories that predict physiological outcomes. Division: Science, Math & Engineering 6 of 9

7 6. 7. Instructors will use assignments requiring students to solve problems in anatomy and physiology and to delineate the steps involved in the solution. Instructors will use assignments requiring students to generate models (flow charts) of physiological processes to explain homeostatic processes. E. ASSIGNMENTS (TYPICAL) EVIDENCE OF APPROPRIATE WORKLOAD FOR COURSE UNITS Time spent on coursework in addition to hours of instruction (lecture hours) Preparing for weekly quizzes and laboratory activities by reading study guide, anatomy atlas and textbook. Answering weekly practice essay questions. Drawing weekly pictures of anatomical structures explored in la Preparation for one exam about every three weeks that covers lecture content and lab activity. Preparation for final comprehensive exam. EVIDENCE OF CRITICAL THINKING Assignments require the appropriate level of critical thinking Students will explain how anatomical structures relate to function and how the cells and organs of the body work together to maintain normal body functioning, for example: i ii v. Explain how the structure of the plasma membrane determines the movement of substances into and out of the cells of the body. Explain how calcium ions allow actin and myosin to interact and thus allow muscle cells to contract Explain how irritation of the bronchial tubes causes bronchoconstriction and thus asthm Explain how irritation of blood vessels causes vasoconstriction and thus high blood pressur Explain how the rate and depth of breathing affect acid/base balance of the blood and thus cellular metabolism.
