這門課在學什麼？
我們該如何開始理解周遭的世界？那些曾經看似魔法的現象，我們又是如何解釋的？這是一門概論課程，在研討課形式、重視參與的課堂中，介紹物理、化學、生物與地球科學等各領域的核心概念。學生將參與小組討論、分析個案研究，並在可行的範圍內動手做實驗，全面認識科學探究與解決問題的方法。課程重視跨領域的連結與科學方法，讓學生認識提出假設、進行實驗、分析資料與得出結論的過程。
本課程透過講課、教材與參與式任務介紹各項概念，引導學生順利完成包含小規模研究的期末課程專題。
適合這樣的你
- 計畫繼續升學，或對任何一門科學有濃厚興趣
- 想實際運用英語，培養在大學課堂上派得上用場的學術能力
- 喜歡具有挑戰性的學習環境

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
