As an introduction to astronomy, this course explores what we know about the solar system and how we know what we know. Topics covered include the history of astronomy, methods of astronomy, formation of the solar system, and the physical characteristics of the sun, planets, moons, and minor members of the solar system (asteroids, meteoroids, and comets). Through the use of text, laboratory, astronomy web sites and actual observation, the student can expect to learn to identify, locate and specify location of the visible planets, some constellations and any other "visitors" that happen to show themselves in our solar system during the course.

This course introduces the student to the methods of biological science. It explores the chemical basis of life; cell structure and function including energy metabolism; cell division; DNA and gene regulation; Mendelian and molecular genetics; the process of evolution; speciation; mechanisms for the origin of life on earth; the principles of systematics; the prokaryotes and the Kingdom Protists. Prerequisites and Corequisites: Students must be eligible for enrollment in English 1010 and DSM 0840 or higher.
