Content:

Unifying concepts of biology taught with materials appropriate for future elementary school teachers.  Does not satisfy requirements for College of Science majors. A major objective of this course is to help students develop the ability to identify, pursue and resolve a scientific problem. This includes making careful observations, accurately recording, organizing, and analyzing data and formulating reasonable databased conclusions. The activities in the course will focus on the topics of ecosystems, biological energy (i.e. photosynthesis and cellular respiration), and cell structure and function.  NOTE:  Not available for credit toward graduation for majors in the Department of Biological Sciences.
