These are Curriculum Proposals for Natural Systems 2, Spring '99. Please feel free to browse...

You can Input Your Science Curriculum Proposal , and then review feedback on this page.

Please review the criteria for the Science Curriculum Project on the syllabus. Your project should be both explicitly and implicitly "friendly to minorities and women (girls)." You may have experience with research and sharing your experiences with others, but this time, DIVERSITY is a special concern.

Peer Review is a fundamental component of doing science.To help make your projects more scientifically sound, you are being called upon to put forward your ideas, proposals, lab packets and final report as well as provide feedback to your peers.
