It is an interdisciplinary science at the intersection of physics, astronomy, biology, geology, and mathematics, asking where and under what conditions life can arise and exist in the Universe. The course will cover the discovery of planetary systems around other stars, the nature of habitable zones around distant stars, and the existence of life in extreme environments on Earth (including the hydrothermal ecosystems of Yellowstone National Park and the cryogenic ecosystems of Antarctica). The course is appropriate for middle and high school teachers with a minimum of one year teaching experience. Graduate-level requirements include two additional assignments in the form of graduate-level term papers. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. Identical to: ECOL 507.
