In high school I took biology and physics for one year and chemistry for two years. I enjoyed chemistry the most because I like the way math connects to things in the physical world. I hope I can learn useful and interesting information in this course that may be helpful later in life. I think I would like to be involved with either the outfall inspections or the watershed clean up. I enjoy spending time outdoors, and I feel that these projects could end up making a noticeable difference around the campus. These projects also seem team oriented, so it will probably be fun to do the projects with my classmates. I think I may learn more about the organizations that work in these fields to make a difference in the environment around UGA. I think I would like to learn about how bacteria behaves in relation to humans and other large organisms.

I took AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and Pre-AP Biology in high school and I enjoyed Physics the most because the teacher made learning fun. I would most like to get an A and 3 credit hours out of this course. I have gone to UGA football games my entire life and I always cringe when I see the trash on this beautiful campus so the tailgating project appeals most to me. I would like to learn more about the impact of eating habits on humans.

I took Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics in high school. My favorite was physics because i was the best at it and I understood the concepts most fully.

I would like to appreciate biology more and better understand what I read in the news about recent biology discoveries and inventions.

The watershed clean up project interests me most. I have previously volunteered in my community and I always find volunteering fulfilling. Other students would appreciate the cleaner watersheds.

Helping with this service project would help me appreciate clean areas more and inspire me to continue to volunteer.

I would like to have a better understanding of things that make up everyday life which we take for granted.

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).
