BI 101E Course Description 

Biology 101E is a course for students pursuing a career in Elementary or Secondary Education.

The course will provide a broad perspective on the fundamental scientific realm of biology.

It will explore concepts including:

  • the cellular basis of life
  • the genes and their control of organisms
  • energy and its capture and use by organisms
  • the application of evolution as a strand throughout all of biology
  • the dynamics of populations and their environment
  • and the diversity of living things and their interactions with each other

The course is specifically designed to prepare the pre-service teacher with the background needed in biological concepts for the elementary student.

With this course, students will be given opportunity to apply accumulated biological knowledge, address issues facing us as a society, gain confidence in problem solving strategies, and actively demonstrate good scientific investigation. 

Most significantly, students in this course will then be able to propose ways to make them understandable and meaningful to children.

SCI 201: Integrated Science Course Description

Integrated Life Science is a course for non-science majors introducing biological and earth science topics
including the nature of science, biological diversity, evolutionary theory, genetics, biotechnology, cellular
biology, human anatomy and physiology, plate tectonics, weather and global climate change, natural and
environmental hazards, Earth materials and natural resources.

An emphasis is placed upon how these topics apply to students' lives while also developing mastery of science content. Through inquiry and group discussions, students develop reasoning, critical thinking and problem solving skills.
