  5. Minnesota Transfer Curriculum Goal Area(s) and Competencies
      Goal 03 — Natural Science
      • Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories.
      • Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments in at least two of the natural science disciplines. One of these experimental components should develop, in greater depth, students' laboratory experience in the collection of data, its statistical and graphical analysis, and an appreciation of its sources of error and uncertainty.
      • Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing.
