-
4.00 Credits
A survey of our Solar System, including formation models, orbital properties, and motions of its members; planetary features; asteroids, comets and meteors; comparisons of terrestrial to jovian planets; and planetary atmospheres. The laboratory section for the class will include work at night in the FMU Observatory.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to observational astronomy, including telescope design and usage; star maps; constellation figures, bright members and deep sky objects. Attendance will be required each week for at least one night observing session in the FMU Observatory
Prerequisite:
ASTR 201
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a lab science course that provides the information needed for the Life Science part of the PRAXIS "Elementary Education: Content Knowledge" exam. By the end of the course, students should: understand the scientific method, including being proficient with science and engineering practices; have an understanding of the basic science upon which biology rests, including the areas of cell biology, genetics, organ systems, energetics, evolution, and ecology; develop a basic understanding of how plants and animals contribute to and function within our environment; and be familiar with plant and animal diversity and physiology.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the needs of human beings for food, energy, and other natural resources and the effects of their actions on the air, water, soil, plants, and other animals. The diversity of life, plant anatomy and physiology, ecology and evolution will be included. Throughout the course the process of doing science is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic biology of humans and how to interpret emerging technologies such as DNA fingerprinting and genetic engineering. The process of doing science is emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
The content of this course covers broad concepts of the scientific method, biological chemistry, and the molecular and cellular basis of life. Includes the topics of cell structure, energetics and metabolism, molecular genetics, Mendelian inheritance, and cell reproduction, with selected applications at the tissue and organ levels of organization. Required for majors, minors, and collaterals in biology, health physics majors, and pre-nursing majors. Recommended for other science majors and middle level education majors who have an emphasis in science.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the domains of life in an evolutionary framework. Includes biological evolution and the mechanisms of evolutionary change, a survey of biological diversity with examples of plant and animal structure and physiology, and general ecological principles. Includes laboratory and field experiences.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to biology's core concepts from molecules through cells including biological information, evolution, cells, emergent properties and homeostasis. This course covers similar material found in Biology 105 but increases the amount of critical analysis of data and teaches the skills necessary to critically think about biological problems. This course is designed for Biology Majors, Minors, and other science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to biology's core concepts from organisms though ecological systems, including biological information, evolution, cells, emergent properties, and homeostasis. This course covers similar material found in Biology 106 but increases the amount of critical analysis of data and teaches the skills ncecessary to critically think about biological problems. This course is designed for Biology Majors, Minors, and other science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the principles of plant biology, including structure, function, growth, development, reproduction, evolution, and adaptation of the embryophytes, or land plants.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 103 or ENVR 101
