This course offers a fascinating and in-depth journey through the remarkable history of biology, exposing participants to the revolutionary discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the living world. The journey begins with an intriguing introduction to the nature of science and biology, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and observation in the natural world, and guiding participants through crucial milestones in the development of science. From the invention of the microscope by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century, which revealed an entire world of microorganisms, through the cell theory of Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, which led to the revolutionary understanding that all living organisms are composed of cells, to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution.

The course continues to explore the foundations of genetics, from Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on inheritance in pea plants, to the astounding discovery of DNA structure by Watson, Crick, and Franklin. Finally, participants will be exposed to modern developments in biology, including the Human Genome Project and genetic engineering, while discussing the ethical implications of these technologies.

Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on developing critical thinking, encouraging scientific curiosity, and highlighting the connection between historical discoveries and everyday life, using visual simulations, models, and animations to illustrate complex concepts. This course is not just about knowledge transfer; it is an inspiring journey that will open up a world of wonder and insights to participants, igniting their passion for exploration and discovery.
