Credits: 1

SCIPH-704

Credits: 1

Biology 2 Students develop an understanding of the anatomy and physiology of animals, with an emphasis on human biology, through lecture, dissections and experiments. SCIHS-705 Credits: 1 Chemistry 1 The language and logic of chemistry are developed by studying elements, compounds and mixtures; atomic structure; the periodic table and the Periodic Law; chemical bonding; the naming of compounds; the writing of formulas; and other topics. Prerequisite(s): Complete MATHHS-716 or MATHPH-716. SCIHS-706 Credits: 1 Chemistry 2 Instruction is continued in the laws and principles of chemistry through a study of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, the properties of gases, the kinetic theory of matter, ionization, solutions, oxidation-reduction, radioactivity, and other topics. Prerequisite(s): Complete SCIHS-705 or SCIPH-705. SCIHS-715 Credits: 1 Environmental Biology This is a continuation of Biology 1 and 2. Students will develop an awareness of the interrelationships and interactions of life and with the environment through lecture and labs. Topics will include plant life, evolution and ecology. SCIHS-750 Credits: 1 Physical Science 1 Physical Science 1 teaches the nature of science while incorporating physics, chemistry, Earth science and space science. Topics include nonliving matter, scienti fi c problem-solving, metric measurement, nature of chemicals, periodic tables, force, acceleration, momentum, work, power and machines. SCIHS-751 Credits: 1 Physical Science 2 Physical Science 2 is a course designed to teach the nature of science while incorporating physics, chemistry, Earth science and space science.
