Two semester algebra based intro physics sequence

What is your approach to teaching physics for life science students?

The class is a mixture of students with different majors, so I don't really have an approach tailored for them. Mostly, I talk a bit at the beginning of class and then give them a sheet of stuff to do, while going around and answering questions or checking on their progress.
