This course will survey the significant chemical and physical concepts related to energy usage. An initial introduction to energy mechanics and the laws of thermodynamics, applied to ‘real-world’ situations, will be given. Present modes of energy generation and usage will be discussed and related to environmental considerations. Significant time will be spent with an assessment of energy sources. These include fossil fuel, solar, nuclear, geothermal and biomass sources. The course will have lab components woven into the course. Physics and chemistry laboratory experiences will illustrate topics covered in the class. Emphasis in the lab learning exercises will be placed on classical mechanics and energy, thermodynamics, and biofuel experiments.

Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program This seminar will explore how different civilizations have tried to make sense of what they observe in the sky. For thousands of years people have tried to explain the order they see around them. We will see how these explanations of the cosmos have changed over time, ending with the current theory of the origin of the universe, the Big Bang. Note: The course does not require previous knowledge of either physics or astronomy. Fulfills Science or Elective requirement
