Students will be introduced to the types of questions asked by ecologists, the principal concepts and theories that guide ecological inquiry, and the methods that are used to answer ecological questions. Particular emphasis will be paid to population, community, and ecosystem-level processes.
Both terrestrial and aquatic systems will be considered. The practical component of the course will include laboratory exercises, as well as field trips. Course Coordinator: Benjamin Taylor, Ph. This course serves as an introduction to chemistry. The complex connections between chemistry and society are explored through applying chemical principles to real world issues such as air quality, energy and water use through interactive classroom lectures, discussions and laboratory exercises.
Topics include measurements, atoms, the Periodic Table, ionic and molecular compounds, stoichiometry, energy, acids and bases in the context of social issues. Course Coordinator: Christopher Farley, Ph.
