Homepage][Biology Homepage]The principles underlying the proper management of our resources; water, soils, minerals, forest, wildlife and human. The current and past attitudes relating to the resources with the interaction and complexities of humans' interests. This meets the statutory requirement for Conservation of Natural Resources required for State certification for teachers of science and social sciences. Lecture and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips. NS
An introduction to the fundamental principles of living organisms. Includes cell and tissue structure, growth, basic physiological processes, reproduction and inheritance, classification, evolution and ecology. Lecture, lab, and may also include demonstrations, discussion and field trips. NS/LS
The interrelationships between living organisms and their environment; ecosystem concepts; population dynamics; community organization and distribution; and application of ecological principles to humans and their environment. Lecture, lab and field trips. Prerequisite: introductory BIO course. NS/LS
A team-taught, interdisciplinary course. It focuses on the nature, excitement, and role of scientific inquiry as a means of solving real world problems through research and collaboration. By using the fundamental unifying principles of the natural sciences, it puts in scientific context important public issues such as past and possible future catastrophes that did and could affect our environment (e.g. plagues, extinction, global warming, ozone depletion, nuclear winter, collision with space debris, etc.). The historical, scientific, and social aspects of each theme will be examined from different perspectives and the importance of being an informed user of this knowledge as a responsible citizen. Compressed video. Prerequisites: Sophomore Status, AAS degree check, and advisor approval. NS/LS
An introduction to plant sciences including the structure, development, physiology, and genetics of plants. The relation of the major plant groups and the principles of biology. Lecture, lab, and field trips. NS/LS.
