这是一门怎样的课？
我们该如何开始理解身边的世界？那些一度看似魔法的现象，我们是如何解释清楚的？这是一门概论课程，以参与式的研讨课形式，介绍多个科学学科的基本概念，包括物理学、化学、生物学和地球科学中的核心概念。学生将参与小组讨论、研究案例，并在条件允许时动手做实验，从而全面了解科学探究与解决问题的方法。课程重视学科之间的联系和科学方法，学生将掌握提出假设、进行实验、分析数据和得出结论的思路。
课程通过讲授、文本阅读和参与式任务介绍各项概念，最终完成一个包含小规模研究的课程项目。
适合以下学生
- 打算升读大学，或对任一科学领域有浓厚兴趣
- 希望实际运用英语，培养在大学课程中取得成功所需的学术能力
- 享受富有挑战性的学习环境

How do we begin to understand the world around us? How are we able to explain phenomena that at one time seemed magical? This survey course introduces fundamental concepts across scientific disciplines in a seminar-style participatory classroom, including key concepts from physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. Students will engage in group discussions, examine case studies, and participate in experiments (where practical) to develop a broad understanding of scientific inquiry and problem-solving. Emphasizing cross-disciplinary connection and the scientific method, students will come away with awareness of hypothesis formulation, experimentation, data analysis, and drawing conclusions.
This course introduces concepts through lectures, texts, and participation tasks that lead toward successful completion of a final course project involving small-scale research.
This course is a good fit if:
- You plan to pursue post-secondary education and/or have strong interest in any of the sciences
- You want to practice language and develop academic skills for success in university courses
- You enjoy a challenging study environment
