NS 101 Science of Nature I
4 Credits
Science of Nature courses aim to initiate a curiosity
and desire for learning “scientific thinking” in students
and at the same time to introduce some of the basic
concepts of physical, chemical and biological sciences
in connection with questions concerning the universe,
nature and our daily life.
The NS 101 course consists of two modules “(1) Are
we alone in the universe?” and “(2) Is antibiotics
resistance a big threat to the existence of
humankind?” Scientific methodology and fundamental
concepts in the physical, chemical, and biological
sciences are introduced through an integrated
approach in the framework of these questions.
Upon completing NS 101, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate skills for critical thinking,
reasoning and problem solving through
integration of different concepts and information.
2. Distinguish among scientific laws,
hypothesis and theory and use them to
differentiate facts from fiction.
3. Apply mathematical concepts to solve
quantitative problems.
4. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of the
terminology, major concepts and theories
of one or more fields in physical, chemical,
and biological sciences.
5. Describe the role of science and
technology, and develop skills for
communicating scientific concepts and
facts to society in general.
6. Demonstrate professionalism and ethics
when using scientific approach to make
informed decision in daily life situations.
