Hide-BIOL10130 Biology in Action
Academic Year 2022/2023
Biology is all around us, is happening from the microscopic to the global scale, and encompasses all organisms on Earth. To fully understand the biology of any organism requires an appreciation of how it interacts with both its environment and the myriad of other organisms it may encounter. This module will explore 'biology in action' using real life examples from the research of academics in the School of Biology and Environmental Science to demonstrate the relevance and importance of biology in our everyday lives. Parallel practical sessions will explore a biological question of your choice through a small group project. Students will be expected to purchase on-line access to course material for this module in common with BIOL10140 and BIOL10110.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. understand the basic principles behind key areas of biology including evolution, the core theme of all the biological sciences;
2. demonstrate an understanding of how modern research in the life sciences addresses these areas;
3. use self-directed learning to enhance their understanding of the topic;
4. conduct an experiment to test a biological question of their choice;
5. work collaboratively in a small group environment;
6. work safely in a biological laboratory;
7. record observations, collate and analyse biological data and produce a written report.
