INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN THENATURAL/PHYSICAL/MATHEMATICAL SCIENCESANT 230AST 191BIO 102BIO 103CHE 105&CHE 111INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY (3 CR)This course explores the ways in which biology, the environment and culture cometogether to form the human condition. Topics include human genetics, humanevolution, primate behavior, contemporary human variation and applied biologicalanthropology, including forensics, child growth and human nutrition.THE SOLAR SYSTEM (3 CR)A course emphasizing the nature, origin and evolution of planets, satellites and otherobjects in the Solar System. Topics also include historical astronomy, the naked eyephenomena of the sky and modern solar system discoveries made by spacecraft.HUMAN ECOLOGY (3 CR)A study of the interrelationships of man, populations, space, energy, food, mineralresources and other life on earth.BASIC IDEAS OF BIOLOGY (3 CR)Introductory Biology. Discussion topics are those relevant to both plants and animals -cell structure and function, molecules important to living things, metabolism, heredity,and environment.GENERAL COLLEGE CHEMISTRY I (CHE 105) (3 CR)A study of the principles of chemistry and their application to the more importantelements and their compounds.Prerequisites: Math ACT of 23+, or MA 109,or MA 110LABORATORY TO ACCOMPANY CHE 105 (CHE 111) (1 CR)Students will have the opportunity to perform chemical experiments related to theconcepts covered in CHE 105.Prerequisites: Math ACT of 23+ or MA 109 or MA 110To earn UK Core credit, both courses must be completed. CHE 111 may be takenconcurrently with CHE 105 or after CHE 105 has been completed. Students must sign upfor them separately.ENT 110GEO 130GEO 135INSECT BIOLOGY (3 CR)Overview of the biology of insects. Emphasizes how this enormously abundant andimportant group of animals has resolved the basic challenges of survival andreproduction. The roles of both beneficial and detrimental insects will be discussed.EARTH’S PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT (3 CR)A course exploring the fundamental characteristics of earth’s physical environment.Emphasis is placed on identifying interrelationships between atmospheric processesinvolving energy, pressure, and moisture, weather and climate, and terrestrial processesof vegetative biomes, soils, and landscape formation and change.GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE (3 CR)In this course we will examine the causes and consequences of recent climate change,and use our understanding of climatic and environmental processes to inform discussionon future climate change.14
INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY IN THENATURAL/PHYSICAL/MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES CONTINUEDGLY 110GLY 120PHY 211PHY 231&PHY 241ENDANGERED PLANET: AN INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY (3 CR)An introductory course that applies basic geological concepts to current environmentalissues including the availability and use of water and soil resources, pollution causes,effects and solutions, and causes and prediction of environmental hazards includingfloods, landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and volcanoes.SUSTAINABLE PLANET: THE GEOLOGY OF NATURAL RESOURCES (3 CR)An introduction to the geologic and societal controls that govern the distribution andcost of using geologic resources: minerals, soils, energy, and industrial materials. Topicsinclude the geological processes responsible for forming these resources, controls ontheir distribution, quality and abundance, economic factors that drive their recovery,and the legal/political arena in which we attempt to utilize them.GENERAL PHYSICS (5 CR)This is the first part of a two-semester survey of classical and modern physics, focusingon the motion of solids and fluids as governed by Newton’s Laws and by theconservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum. Lecture: two hours,recitation: two hours, laboratory: two hours.GENERAL UNIVERSITY PHYSICS (PHY 231) (4 CR)First part of a two-semester survey of classical physics. Consequences of the principlesof mechanics are developed conceptually, analytically and quantitatively. Lecture: threehours; recitation: one hour per week.GENERAL PHYSICS LABORATORY (PHY 241) (1 CR)A laboratory course offering experiments in mechanics and heat, framed in a smallgroup environment that requires coordination and team work in the development of awell-written lab report.To earn UK Core credit, both courses must be completed. They may be taken in eitherorder and students must sign up for them separately.PLS 104PLANTS, SOILS, AND PEOPLE: A SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE (3 CR)An introduction to the looming world food crisis and the scientific basis governing ourability to sustainably meet it. The course explores the biological and environmentalconstraints on food production, the ways that agricultural science has dealt with thesein the past and possible ways for the future, as well as societal and cultural issues, suchas population growth, human health, education, and food definitions, that also impactfood security. Intended for any student interested in these topics.15
