Previous experience with science: I took an AP Physics 2 course my senior year of high school. I decided to take it after taking honors physics 1 the year before. I also took honors chemistry and honors biology in high school however physics was the class that most interested me because it was just as interesting as it was challenging.

What I want out of this course: I would like to gain a broad understanding of biology and be able to educate my peers on things that are happening in our community.

Projects that interest me: The tailgating project interests me because I love football and tailgating so being able to make that experience more clean and safe would be a great thing for the community especially at UGA. I think the fact that many of my peers participate in tailgating and contribute to the trash build up and littering will make them more inclined to help with this project.

Things I might learn: I’ll learn how to communicate to students about how their actions can greatly affect the environment. I believe I can make a difference on campus with this service learning project.

Things I want to learn: I want to learn about some microbiology but also some anatomy and how the human body works.

In high school I only took the required Biology course in sophomore year and an Environmental Science class as well. I did not take an AP science class because I do not love science. I enjoyed Biology because I am fascinated by genetics and loved learning about that.

I am excited for the hands-on work that we will do in this class and the work that we will be doing with each other and the community.

The Outreach with Clarke Central High School students sounds interesting to me because I love working with other people and find it interesting that we will be doing work on our own and then implementing that into the work that we will do with the students.

I think through doing the service learning I will get good insight into the power of what we can do outside the classroom, with the information that we learn inside the classroom. I feel like this concept is often forgotten about when because, as students, we can get caught up in just completing the task rather than thinking about the bigger picture.

I am interested in the biology of behavior and also in genetics.

1. 
2. In high school, I took honors Biology, as well as AP Physics (I and II) and AP Chemistry. I probably liked Physics the most, as I enjoyed the computation and hands-on experience as a way of learning the information.
3. I’d like to develop a similar fondness of Biology (as well as knowledge of it) that I have for some other science subjects.
4. The projects that make an impact on the Athens/UGA community or campus. I think that, as a class, we’d enjoy going to high school classrooms to teach them about important topics, or working on cleaning up campus (especially after game days).
5. Service learning would help us learn why it is important for the general public to care about the environment as well as what biological topics are essential to know even for those who aren’t biologists.
6. I would like to learn general topics about ecosystems and how different forms of life interact in different environments (e.g. symbiotic relationships).

2) The highest level life sciences class I took was Honors Bio. I liked physics more than biology. I was never a fan of Bio mainly due to the subpar teacher we had teaching it.

3) Rekindle my interest in Biology and hopefully do something for the UGA community.

4) I really liked the tailgating one. It is a huge problem for UGA’s campus. If we can help reduce waste, we can continue our amazing tailgates for years to come.

5) If I did the outreach with the high school students at Clarke Central. I would help improve my communication and ability to teach and inform.

6) One thing that really interests me is the concept of Superbugs. I hope to learn what makes them extremely dangerous and how our habits can affect the creation of them.

1. I took AP Physics and AP Chemistry in high-school, but I never loved either of them. I enjoyed my honors chemistry class as a sophomore most.
2. I would like to refresh my memory on the basics of biology, while simultaneously learning new things about the environment.
3. Outreach with Clarke Central High School Students- I have been in this area and to schools in Athens while playing tennis tournaments, so I would love to meet more high-schoolers and help them with their data analysis. It is appealing to help the environment and animals.
4. We would learn more about the environmental problems within our new community.
5. I would like to learn more about genetic testing.
