This is an introductory course designed to involve the non-science oriented student in an investigation of some of the basic concepts and processes of science. There will be an introduction to measurement and information gathering techniques used by scientists, along with an examination of basic principles of phenomena such as motion, gravity, energy, and heat. Laboratory experiments will enable the students to investigate scientific principles as they apply to the world. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

4.00 Credits
The course is designed to continue the investigation of physical science principles with a focus on chemical aspects. Such topics as electricity, atomic structure, chemical nature and behavior, ionization, reactions, and compound formation will highlight the study. Laboratory experiments will enable the students to investigate scientific principles as they apply to the world. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

4.00 Credits
This course presents principles of the study of the earth outlining how the science began in the late 1700s from natural curiosity progressing to our present knowledge of the earth as a dynamic entity. Students will study its surface features and processes and then can appreciate how patterns observed have allowed for interpretations of what is going on within the interior. Such aspects include but are not limited to earthquakes, volcanism, origin and deformation of mountain belts and ocean basins, the work of running water, glaciers and wind. In lab, students are provided a handson approach to the study of minerals, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and will learn how to use a topographic map. A one-day field trip may be offered to illustrate and reinforce the concepts introduced. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. A special section of Physical Geology may be offered each semester through the College of the Air program. This distance-learning course uses videotapes, the Internet, computers and other electronic media to complete the course assignments. Therefore students must have access to a computer and a VCR. Students will occasionally meet with the instructor on campus to perform laboratory experiments and to take exams. Special sections of Physical Geology may be offered which cover most of the topics above but which present the popular field of gemology, allowing the students to work with professional instruments to identify a large suite of gems, both natural and synthetic.

4.00 Credits
This is a problem-oriented approach to the study of the geologic history of the planet Earth. Laboratory methods are emphasized in conjunction with the fundamental tools of geology. The origins and evolution of the continents and ocean basins are examined both from a classical perspective, and through the utilization of the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. The histories of select areas will be examined with an emphasis placed on the techniques used in the interpretation of the ancient environments in which the rock record was formed. A one-day field trip may be offered to illustrate and reinforce the concepts introduced. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

4.00 Credits
The historical development of the physical laws and theories basic to the study of the solar system is studied. Physical characteristics of the earth, moon, planets and sun are discussed including findings of unmanned planetary exploration. Students are required to attend at least two evening observation sessions during the semester. Students gain a working knowledge of the operation of a telescope. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. Note: A special section of Solar System Astronomy may be offered each semester through the College of the Air program. This distance-learning course uses videotapes, the Internet, computers and other electronic media to complete the course assignments. Therefore, students must have access to a computer and a VCR. Students will occasionally meet with the instructor on campus to perform laboratory experiments and take exams. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

4.00 Credits
The student is introduced to the historical development of theories basic to understanding the concepts of the universe beyond the solar system and studies the evolution of stars and galaxies in terms of observations. Included are discussions of quasars, pulsars, black holes and the Big Bang Theory. Students are required to attend at least two evening observation sessions during the semester. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Lab fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
