3.00 Credits
This is an excellent course for the student taking developmental courses. It is recommended for students at the MT 013, MT 006, or MT 007 level. Through realworld applications, it provides relevant reinforcement that will enhance the learning process as well as provide a solid base for advanced science courses. Instruction will include but not be limited to exploring the following topics: physical problem solving, vectors with trigonometric analysis, graphing techniques, proportionality and dimensional analysis. Concurrent registration in PH 161 required. F/S (N)
-
0.00 - 60.00 Credits
Concurrent registration in PH 060 required. F/S (N)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of natural events and processes that impact human life and health with an emphasis on catastrophic geological and meteorological events including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis and hurricanes. This course focuses on how the normal processes of the earth create the energies that produce these events. It also addresses the physical effects, prediction and implications of natural hazards. Prerequisites: none. F/S ( C, N, S)
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course to compliment PH- 100 The Science of Natural Disasters. A hands-on companion laboratory designed to illustrate and enhance the lectures and activities in PH 100. In the lab, students will learn about and use the scientific method to explore the causes and effects of natural phenomena such as seismic activity and earthquakes, volcanology and volcanic chemistry, meteorology of hurricanes, flooding, coast line erosion and down-slope movement. Pre-requisite: none. Concurrent registration in PH 100 recommended. F/S (N, S)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as a non-mathematical approach stressing general concepts in the physical sciences. It is intended as a liberal arts elective for programs in general studies, liberal arts, health sciences, business, technologies and public service. Pre-requisites: none. F/S ( C, N, S)
-
4.00 Credits
A one-semester course designed to be taken in sequence with PH 125. PH 124 (lecture plus lab) introduces important geological processes that have environmental impacts, ranging from earthquakes and volcanic hazards to landslides and flooding. The framework for learning these processes will include the hydrologic cycle and the rock cycle. Discussions of environmental philosophy and the significance for society of the environmental findings of science will be covered. The laboratory involves handson experience with areas such as: field measurements of streams; map analysis; an examination of fossils as they relate to the environment; meteorite impacts; common rock-forming minerals; rocks; earthquakes; volcanoes and soil classification. Prerequisites: None. F (C)
-
3.00 Credits
PH125 offers an interdisciplinary discussion of both natural and human-induced global environmental change at various scales. The course provides a comprehensive description of how advances in the physical, biological and geological sciences are being integrated to understand the interplay between the Earth's components (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere). Topics include the Earth's building blocks, the Earth through time, natural hazards, natural resources and Earth system cycles (such as weather, climate change and atmospheric pollution). Prerequisites: None PH 124 is not a prerequisite. S (C)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a non-math survey of our energy resources, options for future development and environmental impact of solar, nuclear, fossil fuels, wind and other alternatives. Practical ways to reduce energy use in the home and transportation will be considered along with methods of participating in decisions on energy policy and politics. Prerequisitenone. F/S (N, S)
-
3.00 Credits
A science elective intended for special programs. Selected topics include mechanics, hydraulics, heat and light. Demonstrations will be used. S (S)
-
1.00 Credits
An introductory interdisciplinary course in structural kinesiology with laboratory applications in physics. This course is specifically intended for students in occupational therapy and may be taken by liberal arts science students interested in a kinesiology overview. Relationships between structure, function and the fundamental laws of physics will be emphasized. Topics include anatomical terminology, joint movement, measurements, linear motion, vectors, force, analysis of the bones, muscles and nerve innervations of the upper and lower extremities, rotational motion and basic biomechanics. Co-requisite; OT 256. Prerequisite: BI 150 and BI 151. F (N)
