In this hands-on laboratory course, students will apply skills and techniques to conduct experiments on living animals with the goal of characterizing physiological processes. Students will advance their writing skills through preparation of several full lab reports. The last experiment in the course is a self-directed study where students will develop hypotheses, generate and test predictions and design the experiment using tools they have learned in the course.
