A module developed with concepts related to sound, water, and light waves. Students use the bla ckboard technology asynchronously to explore the interdisciplinary nature of waves. A module created for the collaboration between biology and mathematics students as they investigate a bio logical research question. Student research teams use biological, mathematical, and research methods to identify types of blood diseases and make predictions and verify hypotheses using qualitative and quantitative approaches. A hands-on module designed to enable physics, chemistry, and biology students to construct the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics from concrete experiences.
Students explore water quality issues using problem-based learning.
Elements o f chemistry, biology, hydrology, math and communication skills are embedded within the course constructs, providing a real-world connection between concept and application. A module designed to conduct activities dealing with pollution, chemicals in th e environment, and pesticide use. A module that incorporates persona l energy and resource use audits to ascertain students' general impact upon the environment. Working in teams, they analyze individual and group data to develop a broader perspective of the possible anthropogenic effects of climate change. It also includes information on the electromagnetic spectrum, the inverse square law and DNA mutations and cancer formation in living cells, the chemi stry of ozone and chemical sunscreens, and modeling of data sets.
