Science is just one way of knowing the world. Some people experience the world through the lens of music, others are passionate about history. It's been said that those who grow up to be scientists have simply never outgrown the childhood phase of awe and experimentation that we can all remember.
The objective of Introduction to Biology: Laboratory Manual is to get students to think about the nature of science, the connection between science and society, and how they can adopt the lens of science throughout this course and, hopefully, throughout their lives.
