This course is designed to bring the student to a basic but informed awareness of and responsible behavior toward our environment and the role of the human race therein. The content will include a study of the philosophical and scientific basis for the study of ecosystems and the environment, the nature of ecosystems, the techniques used to study the environment, the origin and development of current environmental problems, the interdisciplinary nature of environmental studies, the processes of critical thinking and problem solving, and the moral and ethical implications of environmentallymandated decisions. Lecture three hours, Lab three hours. $10 laboratory fee.

4.00 Credits
Each Semester. Prerequisite: A score of 19 or above on the mathematics section of the ACTE exam or the completion of MATH 0903, Intermediate Algebra, with a grade of "C" of better. This course isdesigned to model physical science teaching and learning through the process of inquiry. Topics explored are Interactions and Energy, Forces, Systems, Behavior of Gases, Physical Changes, and Chemical Changes. The focus is upon the construction of knowledge regarding science content and process skills essential to the preparation of teachers of physical science in early childhood education. It is recommended for early childhood education majors seeking to fulfill undergraduate requirements in preparation for upper level science methods courses and is equivalent to 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of laboratory experience in physical science. However, the course requires that students participate as active learners in an activitybased, cooperative learning style curriculum. $10 laboratory fee.

1.00 Credits
Spring. Prerequisite: MATH 1113; Corequisite: PHSC 3053 or consent of instructor. An introduction to astronomical observations and techniques. Students will have the opportunity to use telescopes at the ATU astronomical observatory (weather permitting) to make observations and collect scientific data for analysis. This course includes telescope orientation, constellation recognition, identifying celestial objects, and interpreting astronomical data. When taken concurrently with PHSC 3053, this course satisfies the general education physical science laboratory requirement upon successful completion of both courses. Credit for PHSC 3051 requires completion of an observational research project for upper division students. Laboratory 3 hours; 1 credit hour. $10 laboratory fee.
