3.00 Credits
A consideration of the molecular bases of biological phenomena. A consideration of the molecular bases of biological phenomena. (3 hrs lecture)
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the methods, materials, and philosophy needed to become an effective science teacher at the secondary school level. Candidates for teacher certification will briefly review content knowledge in the sciences prior to developing practice lessons and units that include assessment activities, intergration of appropriate instructional technologies, and strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners. The course includes an examination of current curricular reform movements and consideration of their impact on science education in secondary schools. In addition, the implications of state, national, and international tests and standards on student development will be considered. This course will be taught by science faculty. Candidates must recieve a grade of "B" or higher in order to enroll in student teaching. Prerequisite: admission to the Professional Semester Secondary School Education Program. Corequisite: registration in secondary education professional semester courses.

3.00 Credits
This course will cover the flows of energy, carbon, and nutrients that make ecosystems function. The following central themes will be developed: the linkage between populations and processes, interactions between plants and soils, and the effects of environmental change on ecosystem processes.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a broad examination of insect structure, physiology, ecology, and classification. The ecological role of insects in ecosystem processes will be emphasized. The laboratory will provide experience in field and lab techniques used in the study of insects. This course provides a broad examination of insect structure, physiology, ecology, and classification.

(3 hrs lecture - 3 hrs laboratory)
-
3.00 Credits
Individual laboratory or field research projects which may include original research are carried out. The student chooses the project with a faculty member who becomes the project advisor. Students meet regularly with the advisor to give progress reports. A formal paper is submitted and an oral report of the project's findings is given to the department's majors and faculty. Every semester.

3.00 Credits
The course will consider the theoretical, experimental, and empirical foundations of population genetics. Topics covered will include models of natural selection and genetic drift; the neutral theory of molecular evolution; migration and population subdivision; speciation; and applications to medicine, pest control, and conservation biology.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced course which examines the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying cell adhesion, cell-cell communication and signaling pathways, apoptosis, patterns and body axis formation, limb morphogenesis and sex determination in animals.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced lecture course examining the molecular mechanisms underlying procaryotic biology. Emphasis will be on pathogenic bacteria.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will introduce students to the aquatic and wetland plant flora (ferns, fern allies, flowering plants) of the northeast. The lecture will focus on conceptual issues of biology, ecology, and evolution of aquatic and wetland plants.
