  • AND SCIENCE 151: Science and Technology for Everyday Life

    4.00 Credits
    Hope College

    Modern society would not exist without the aid of technology. We depend upon technological devices for communication, food production, transportation, health care and even entertainment. This course focuses on the wide variety of technology used in everyday life. The objective is to develop a familiarity with how various technological devices work, and to explain the basic scientific principles underlying their operation. Topics covered include: the automobile, radio, television, CD players, microwave ovens, computers, ultrasound, and x-ray imaging. Concepts from basic science are introduced as they appear in the context of technology. Laboratory projects include construction of simple objects such as radios, electric motors, and a musical keyboard. Four Credits Krupczak (Engineering) Both Semesters

  • AND SCIENCE 152: The Atmosphere and Environmental Change

    3.00 Credits
    Hope College

    Storms, droughts, heat waves, and cold snaps make us all aware of how the atmosphere impacts human beings. Recent concerns about the greenhouse effect, climate change, pollution, and ozone depletion have made us more aware of how human beings impact the atmosphere. The subject matter of this course is the effect of the atmosphere on people and of people on the atmosphere. Subjects will include the basics of the atmosphere and weather, local pollution, acid rain, climate change, ozone depletion, storms, droughts, and floods. GEMS 100 (Mathematics for Public Discourse) is a coor pre-requisite; this requirement is waived for students who have received college credit for Math 126 or Math 131.

  • AND SCIENCE 153: Populations in Changing Environments

    3.00 Credits
    Hope College

    In this investigation-based course students will explore the biological principles of population growth and dynamics, extinction and evolution, species interactions, biodiversity and conservation. Topics are studied within an environmental context using quantitative and experimental approaches. GEMS 100 is a co- or pre-requisite; this requirement is waived for students who have received college credit for Math 126 or Math 131. Four Credits Winnett-Murray (Biology) Fall, Every Few Years

  • AND SCIENCE 154: Stars and Planets

    4.00 Credits
    Hope College

    A survey of planetary geology in our solar system, of stellar formation and evolution, and of galaxies of the physical universe. We will discuss what is known and how the knowledge is obtained. Topics include the telescope, Earth-Moon system, terrestrial and gaseous planets, the Sun, types of stars and their intrinsic properties, the H-R diagram, pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, galaxies, and cosmology. The course will include in-class cooperative assignments, lecture, homework and a laboratory. Various laboratory exercises include building a simple telescope and observing with it, learning and observing the constellations, weather and geology of the planets, observing Jupiter and measuring its mass and the masses of the four brightest moons, observing a cluster of stars and making a H-R diagram, a pulsar model, classification of galaxies, and Hubble's law.

  • AND SCIENCE 155: History of Biology & Lab

    3.00 Credits
    Hope College

    Students will consider the historical development of biological knowledge from ancient times to the present. The lab will offer opportunities to recreate crucial experiments from the past, and we will then consider their historical and philosophical impact. Students will investigate the history of biology from a broad interdisciplinary perspective. While the scope of the course will be broad, it will focus on the development of biology in the 19th century when Darwin, Pasteur, Bernard, Mendel, and others were laying the groundwork of modern biology. Pre-requisite: Completion of four credits of the cultural heritage requirement. Four Credits Cronkite (Biology) Every Few Years

  • AND SCIENCE 158: Human Biology in Health and Disease

    4.00 Credits
    Hope College

    Despite our differences, each of us has a body that functions to keep us alive. This course examines the structure and function of the human body from investigative and interdisciplinary perspectives. We will consider how the various organ systems work to maintain life and the ways in which the functions of these systems can be compromised by disease. Participants will explore how scientific methods are used to learn about the biology of humans. In addition to more traditional laboratory exercises, teams of students will design, carry out, and report on a laboratory project related to human biology. This course should be well-suited for students majoring in social work and other areas where a general understanding of human biology would be useful, as well as for students interested in learning more about human biology under normal and pathological conditions.
