COURSE AIM
The students should work on and develop: -understanding of functions of human body, -comprehensiv view of health aspects, -understanding of possibilities of genetic engineering, -in-depth knowledge about and skills in the important general science areas of the compulsory comprehensive school, -understanding of the interaction between theory and experiment where different working methods are applied and discussed, -understanding of the relation between natural science, technique, community and environment, -a problem-directed approach, -laboratory working procedure and learning by discovery, -comprehension that reuse and recycling are important parts of resource economy, -background, aim and method to the degree project. The students should have knowledge about: -structure and function of the different cell-forms, -significance of micro-organisms, -genetics, -control factors for organism physiology, -health and lack of health, -strength-saving machines and their functions, -energy, energy transformations and alternative types of energy as well as the use of energy and energy provision to the Swedish society, - the nature of heat and its manifestations, -structure of the universe and how knowledge about the universe has changed over the years, -carbon atom and its significance in all organic materials, -the chemistry of the human body, -the significance of chemical technical products in the everyday life, -transformation of raw materials to new materials and the processing to industrial products and materials as well as how these are taken care of when they have been used, -the historical perspective. The students should be able to: -support health work, -carry through experiments, interpret and describe the results as well as formulate general laws, -use knowledge of chemistry in a responsibility way with regards to the environment and their own resource utilization, -account for concept development in mathematics within the framwork of the compulsory comprehensive school, -exemplify and account for the difference between knowledge of concepts and knowledge of procedures, -account for how you start from problem-situations in application of mathematic as well as in concept formation, -evaluate the capability of development in unconventional methods of solution when solving mathematical problems as well as routin tasks.
