Description:

A survey of basic science concepts in earth and space science, physical science (physics and chemistry), biological science and environmental/ecological studies, based on the study of the Lithosphere/Biosphere relationships of physical geography. The basic science concepts and their content are derived from the Chapter 48 Pennsylvania K-12 Academic Standards of Science and Technology, Environmental/Ecological Education and Geography, the National Geography Standards, the Council of Social Studies Strands, and the National Geographic's Six Themes of Geography. Attention will be given to such concepts as the atmosphere/ocean connection, weather/climate and climate regions of the earth, the chemical and physical impact of the hydrosphere/atmosphere on the lithosphere and biosphere and the environmental/ecological influences of the hydrosphere/atmosphere on the lithosphere and biosphere. Students explore, through different modes of authentic and formal assessment, media and technology and hands-on activities, the impact of science, technology, environment/ecological education and geography have on their lives. Prerequisite: Limited to education majors or permission of instructor. 3 credits.
