2023-2024 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

BIOL 233 - Animal Locomotion

Students will learn about how animals move and how their locomotion is affected by their environment.  They will learn how the musculoskeletal system works to allow animals to move, and the biophysics of locomotion. Animal Locomotion takes an inquiry-based approach to studying the subject.  The course will integrate short lectures, demonstrations, reading and discussion of primary literature, and hands-on analysis of locomotion.  During the course, students will undertake original research projects in small groups to learn about animal locomotion and publicly present their findings. Students will work with high-speed videos to learn to quantify different aspects of locomotion to test hypotheses that they come up with.

Prerequisites: BIOL 101  

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered every other spring
