Many school science textbooks fail to mention snow altogether. I want to help changethat view. This is a junior- level course designed to introduce students from various academic departments to technical and scientific writing. Although I limit the study to the physical characteristics of snow on flat ground, snowpack study in this course provides students ample opportunity for extensive observation, interpretation, and reporting. Learn and use scientific procedures.
Students conduct scientificinvestigation through aseries of field tests.
Learn andapply scientific knowledge. Students quickly learn the fundamentals of a new science. Learn to interpret data. Students integrate their knowledge and experience. Create and participate in a scientific commu- nity.
