Survey of the ecosystems of central New York. Areas of emphasis are direct experience of the diversity of ecosystems and their structure and function; adaptations of organisms to specific ecosystems; recognition of dominant and indicator species; human impact on ecosystem function and species diversity; and the methods used to measure these parameters. Lectures emphasize the unique attributes of different ecosystems and the techniques of data gathering and analysis. Analyses of societal impact and management of ecosystems are included. Lecture: Two hours. Laboratory: Six hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 11900-12000, BIOL 12100-12200, or BIOL 15100-15200; CHEM 11700 (may be taken concurrently); one of the following: BIOL 12000, BIOL 12200, CHEM 11800, COMP 11000, COMP 18500, MATH 15500, MATH 24300, MATH 24400. 4 credits.

3.00 Credits
As David Orr has noted, ¿the ecological crisis is in every way a crisis of education.¿ In this course, we will learn to teach K-12 students ecological literacy--the basic skills, knowledge, and habits of hearts and mind that we need to cultivate to transform our culture into one that meets its own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. We will survey sustainability education theory and curricula, with an emphasis on learning from working models, practical projects, and field experiences. As our culminating project, we will explore how we can prepare young people to be leaders in sustainability initiatives, and envision what education in a fully sustainable culture would look like. This project will contribute to the development of an alternative high school program at EcoVillage at Ithaca. You will leave this course with the solid theoretical grounding, wide variety of curricular resources, and practical experiences that will allow you to teach sustainability and create rich opportunities for collaboration between classroom teachers and environmental educators in community organizations. PREREQUISITES: none (however, courses such as Environmental Science I or II, Environmental Biology, Education and Society, or The Social and Cultural Foundations of Education provide a foundation for this course)

3.00 Credits
Advanced course on various topics chosen by faculty members or resulting from student requests. Taught as a regular course with students attending the same classes and laboratories. Topics include some taught in the past (e.g., advanced developmental biology, advanced genetics, and population and ecosystem ecology). May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. 2-4 credits. (IRR)
