Description
This course is going to assume that you are new to studying science, so don’t worry if you haven’t conducted any experiments before.
The experiments start off simply, but by Week 4 you will be isolating and extracting the DNA of a kiwi fruit! This week, you’ll be focusing on why water is so important to all living organisms and carrying out two different experiments – baking a potato to destruction and examining the process of osmosis in cucumbers.
To test your knowledge you can try the end-of-week and an end-of-course quizzes.
There are plenty of opportunities to communicate with other learners. There are forum threads for activities in each week. Please join in!
Before you start, The Open University would really appreciate a few minutes of your time to tell us about yourself and your expectations of the course. Your input will help to further improve the online learning experience
