Statewide General Education (AAOT) Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the Science course, students should be able to: 

1. Gather, comprehend, and communicate scientific and technical information in order to explore ideas, models, and solutions and generate further questions.

2. Apply scientific and technical modes of inquiry, individually, and collaboratively, to critically evaluate existing or alternative explanations, solve problems, and make evidence-based decisions in an ethical manner.

3. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of scientific studies and critically examine the influence of scientific and technical knowledge on human society and the environment.

Performance-Based Learner Outcomes (PBLOs): 

Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:

1. Analyze fundamental scientific concepts, models and theories that relate to the integumentary, skeletal, and nervous systems. II, III-V

2. Solve problems, investigate information and draw conclusions about the function of the integumentary, skeletal, and nervous systems. II-V

3. Connect the structure and function of the integumentary, skeletal, and nervous systems to everyday activities and situations. II-V

4. Demonstrates understanding of the structure and operation of the integumentary, skeletal, and nervous systems. II-V
