SCI103 Science and Technology – Laboratory Course Assignment
Course Title: Science and Technology – Laboratory Course
Course Code: SCI103
Section: 04
Prerequisites: There is no prerequisite for this course.
Course Description:
This is a learning experience that complements the Introduction to Sciences. Since the course addresses how scientific thinking and the resultant technology has changed modern life, this lab will provide students with experiences in the scientific approaches of different sciences covered such as: biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. This lab will be constructed specifically to extend the learning from each unit of the Introduction to Sciences course, designed to provide experiences which deepen student familiarity with the scientific method and way of asking questions and solving problems.

Course Information:
Why am I taking this course?
Scientific exploration and scientific research is a hands on activity. This course is the lab course for the Introduction to the Sciences class. You are most likely taking both of these classes together. In the Introduction to the Sciences class you are learning the basic concepts of physics, life science, and Earth science. In this lab class, you will actively get involved in exploring how those concepts play out in the real world.
In this course, you will have the opportunity to put concepts into action through lab activities and simulations. You will explore how science impacts our lives every day. We will analyze the data you collect and think critically about what that data can tell us about the world around us.
In this course, we will interpret data and form conclusions. While you are applying the concepts of physics, life science, and Earth science to real world scenarios, you will be developing and practicing skills like critical thinking and analytical reasoning. The skills are the foundation for your success throughout your academic and professional career.
How can I be successful in this course?
Each week, you will explore real world scenarios related to science in your Intellipath. Completion of a unit is worth 40% of your grade, so be sure to complete all lessons with in the unit before moving on to the next unit. Remember that you can always come back and revise a lesson later, to improve your score.
In weeks 2 and 4, you will complete an activity in which you get to simulate real world examples of a science experiment. This is where you will virtually collect your own data, drawing conclusions based on your results and what you have learned in intellipath. This is a great opportunity to think about the information you are learning and how it might impact your personal life or even your potential career choice.
This course is divided into five units. In each unit, it is best to start as follows:
Read your instructor’s unit overview announcement. The announcement includes important information about topics for that week. Be sure to read for reminders on assignment due dates, and other helpful resources.
Complete the assigned reading for the unit. There are assigned chapters from the textbooks (under “Books and Guides†in the Virtual Classroom). Other resources are in the Learning Materials. These resources provide additional information on important topics related to how physics, life science, and earth science shape the world around us.

Complete your intellipath assignment for the unit. You can access your intellipath lessons from the Virtual Campus link. The system will then guide you on what to do next. Remember to complete all the lessons in each unit to maximize your understanding of the key concepts of science.
In weeks 2 & 4 complete your lab assignment. In week 2 and week 4, you will complete a virtual lab assignment. This is where you will put the concepts you are learning about into action! These assignments let you practice using the scientific method and help you start to draw your own conclusions, based on what you know and what you see in your simulations.
You are at the start of an exciting exploration of the basic sciences that impact our lives every day! You will gain knowledge and build skills. The knowledge and skills are building blocks towards your graduation and career.
Good luck this session!
