NS 102 Science of Nature II
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 nature and
our daily life.
The NS 102 course consists of two modules: “(1) Are
humans causing climate change?” and “(2) Can we
ever comprehend the workings of the
brain?” 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 102 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.
