Demonstrate scientific literacy and the ability to communicate science-based information.
Scientific Paper Crickets — This is the scientific paper I wrote in the course that demonstrates my scientific literacy.
Throughout the semester of Bio 104, I have become scientifically literate and will be able to utilize and communicate scientific information I may encounter in day to day life. Scientific literacy is defined as “the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity.” I have learned how to effectively communicate and interpret this information through our various lab sessions during the semester. We have seen many examples through the scientific papers we had to read when doing our presentations in the beginning of the semester. There have also been examples in the lab procedures that we read and print out before every lab. These are important skills to learn and have as a college student because graphs and data are not only limited to science, but apply to most fields of schooling and work. It is important to have these scientific literacy skills so you have at least a basic understanding of what you may see in graphs or data presented in your field of schooling.
