  • NS 1211: Introduction to Physical Science

    4.00 Credits
    Landmark College

    Lecture This course is a study of universal concepts governing physical interactions and includes selected topics in physics, chemistry, astronomy and geology. The course begins by developing an understanding of the atom, then advances to a broad discussion of the molecular nature of the universe. General physical phenomena are described and analyzed within this paradigm before moving to the study of major physical processes within the earth and the evolution of the universe. Process analysis, terminology, scientific methodology and the synthesis of ideas are stressed. Lab included.

  • NS 1311: Introduction to Geology

    4.00 Credits
    Landmark College

    Lecture This course includes many topics of basic Geology including: geologic time, Earth structure, minerals and rocks, plates tectonics and related phenomena, landforms and geomorphism, geology and current events, plus climate change of the past. Students will have the opportunity to study each topic in depth in the regular classroom through notes, discussions, various group activities, and visual materials from various media. There is a weekly lab session devoted to the hands-on exploration of inquiry-based investigations of rock and mineral identification, landform interpretation, map reading, and other relevant topics and skills. In order to apply the observational and interpretive skills presented, field work will be an important part of the course. Lab included.

  • NS 2001: Perspectives in Evolution

    4.00 Credits
    Landmark College

    Lecture EN1015, NS1011, NS1021, NS1111, NS1211, NS1311, NS Core Trans, EN1021, FY1011, FY1001 Evolution is a term charged with both emotion and controversy. Too often, discussions surrounding this topic don't focus on what evolution is, and what it is not, from a truly scientific perspective. This course begins with an extended study of relevant topics in geology, such as plate tectonics, to create a solid underpinning for the study of evolution. It continues with a look at the ideas of Charles Darwin and the evidence of evolution, particularly the fossil record and the connections with genetics. The final unit explores the human evolution fossil record and the numerous controversies involved with interpreting those discoveries. Included throughout the course is an emphasis on how the discipline of science works in general and how geology and evolution are prime examples of the workings of this process in particular. Non-scientific interpretations of the evidence are occasionally highlighted for contrast. Lab included.
