Synopsis: Sepup's science and global issues: biology is a different kind of science course in three important ways. First, it is student-centered, with the goal of helping all students to understand and enjoy science. Second, it is authentic to the way scientists work, and it asks you to begin to think and investigate as a scientist does. Finally, it is organized around important global issues related to sustainability. Students and their teachers around the United States tested this course and gave feedback, which we used to revise and improve the program. From this testing we learned what high school students find interesting, what is easier or more difficult for you to learn, and how to provide learning experiences to help you progress in your understanding of science. During this course you will participate in a wide range of activities, including hands-on labs, hands-on models, interactive computer simulations of scientific concepts, readings describing how scientific theories are developed and are applied today, and discussions and debates. You will also connect what you learn to your own life, your community, and the world.
