The Applications of Biology course provides students with the opportunity to apply scientific information in making decisions about real-world issues. Within the context of the course, students are introduced to an applications approach, with as many class examples as students. With such examples, students discuss instructional strategies needed to implement such a new instructional approach effectively in the teaching and learning of science. The applications course promotes scientific literacy and helps students to see science teaching and learning in a new way—one that encompasses all aspects of learning. When science is addressed in this way, preservice science teachers become facilitators who assist students in investigating possible answers to their own questions. Science becomes not just a subject that is taught, but is seen as an all important subject that can be incorporated into every aspect of the curriculum.
