4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in geology and biology for students with only a high school background in these two areas, and who are not intending to pursue a science curriculum. This course is designed for education majors with an emphasis in elementary education. Topics to be covered include; the scientific method, basic chemistry of geology and biology, the rock cycle and basic elements of rock types, biochemical cycles, hydrologic cycle, aspects of evolution, aspects of historical geology, and a survey of basic aspects of life. Prerequisite: SCI 111. Course is restricted to Liberal Arts and Science AA; Childhood Education and Adolescent Education majors. BIO 112 is cross-listed with SCI 112.
-
4.00 Credits
This introductory one-semester biology course introduces some core concepts of biology. Topics include the molecular and cellular basis of life, energy flow in biological systems, gene expression and regulation, inheritance, development, and DNA technology. This course is for students who need additional preparation before attempting BIO 151 (General Biology) or BIO 171 (Anatomy and Physiology I). This general education science elective is intended for non-science, non-health professions students. Does not fulfill the science elective requirement for students in the Math/Science programs. Three class hours and two lab hours per week. No prerequisite.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the principles of energy and material flow through ecosystems; includes the introduction of population dynamics and community organization. This class is available for MTS science elective credit and is also recommended for students in nonscience majors seeking general education science elective credit. Three class hours. No prerequisite. Optional one-credit lab available (BIO 131L).
-
1.00 Credits
A field and laboratory approach to ecological principles including energy and chemical flow through terrestrial and aquatic systems. Optional lab to be taken by current or former BIO 131 students. A Saturday field trip may be required, with an option for an equivalent Friday trip. No prerequisite.
-
3.00 Credits
This course reveals how the sustained vitality of the planet is essential for maintaining the health of the societies and economies of the Earth. Major topics showing the mutual dependence of these realms of human existence (i.e., ecology, culture, and economics) are discussed. These topics include population forces, habitat alteration, pollution of air, soil, and living species, water use and abuse, agricultural methods, and fuel (both fossil and renewable). Practical and attainable solutions to our current problems in these areas are emphasized. Solutions range from the personal through community, national, and global levels. No prerequisite. Suggested preparation: BIO 121 or 131 or 151 or 152. No laboratory. Can be used as a non-lab science elective for all students.
