SUMMARY

The discussion centers on structuring a high school course focused on Experiment Design and Statistics for upperclassmen. The course will be divided into two trimesters: the first dedicated to teaching statistical concepts and experiment design, while the second focuses on students conducting their own research projects. Key topics to cover in the first trimester include statistical testing methods and practical applications of statistics in biological research. The course aims to engage students in hands-on learning and presentation of their findings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic statistical concepts
  • Familiarity with experimental design principles
  • Knowledge of statistical testing methods
  • Experience in presenting research findings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research statistical testing methods relevant to biology
  • Explore resources on experimental design frameworks
  • Investigate tools for data analysis in biological research
  • Learn effective presentation techniques for research projects
USEFUL FOR

High school educators, biology teachers, and curriculum developers looking to implement a comprehensive course on Experiment Design and Statistics for students.

the course is for high school upperclassmen, it is a design of experiments/ statistics class. i am a biologist with a math minor, so i need to brush up on my stats, specifically statistics with respect to testing, i am interested in anyone with any kind of advice for helping me to hit the ground running. i want to teach the design/stats in the first trimester, and have the second trimester dedicated to students designing and carrying out some reseach and presenting it. what kind of a course outline do you think i should have for the first trimester? thanks in advance

Biologos is an amazingly incredible Biology and Physiology teacher at my high school. Hopefully somebody out there knowledgeable or experienced with statistics can get this good man some pointers or advice for his new course. It's definitely going to be a blast!

Hey there, Mr. Runkle!
