4.00 Credits
A survey of the universe. The physical properties and motions of the earth, moon, sun, and other planets of the solar system are discussed in detail together with a qualitative description and historical development of the observations and physical theories upon which our understanding of the universe is based. Stellar structure and stellar evolution, galaxies, quasars, black holes, and the expanding universe are discussed in a general way, leading to a discussion of intergalactic travel and communication. The methods and tools of astronomical research are introduced. Experiments from the laboratory manual are conducted. During scheduled night observations, students will acquire experience with the college telescope and equipment. Some limited use of college academic computing facilities will be made. 3 class hours and 3 laboratory hours
-
4.00 Credits
Bring your willingness to ponder some big questions as we explore the rich and awe-inspiring story of the origin and evolution of energy, matter, and life as it is unfolding. What is the fascinating connection between life and the stars Is there other life in the universe How is the universe changing, and what will the fate of the earth be This course looks at new findings about the 15 billion year history of the cosmos from the diverse perspectives of astronomy and biology in classroom and laboratory settings to answer these questions and more. Prerequisites: None 3 class hours and 3 laboratory hours
-
4.00 Credits
A more detailed treatment of topics in modern astronomy, including Stellar structure and evolution; special and general relativity; black holes; quasars and the quasar controversy; radio galaxies; the expansion of the universe; the Big Bang and alternate model cosmologies; the 3 degree Kelvin microwave background; open, closed, or static universe and the search for the missing mass; and observational attempts to establish the curvature of space.

Applies the biological principles explored in BIO 103 to a survey of the viruses and the three domains of biological organisms. BIO 104 focuses on contemporary biological topics, environmental issues, scientific controversies and health concerns. Laboratories supplement lecture by allowing the students to explore the process of science, emphasizing enquiry based, student implemented investigations. Familiarity with biological principles and their application is intended to provide the students with knowledge necessary to critically evaluate important biological developments in today’ s world. 3 class hours and 3 lab hours. (Class and lab hours combined into two 2-1/2 hour meetings.) Prerequisite: BIO 103 or 100 or 107
