PHS 112 - Interactions with the Natural World
Explore the relationships between living organisms and their physical environment in this activity-based course. Study Earth’s atmosphere and seasons and explore the resulting adaptations of living things, for example through photosynthesis and respiration. Investigate rocks and minerals as the building blocks of the solid Earth and cells as the basic unit of life. Biologic and earth science concepts are integrated to show the prehistoric and modern interactions among Earth’s atmosphere, its rocks and minerals and its life. Students are expected to become personally involved with in-class and at-home activities and projects. Learning is accomplished by experimentation and discussion within cooperative groups; the laboratory becomes the classroom. Appropriate for Elementary Education and Early Childhood majors.
