Awesome
Professor Haines is amazing! Despite not being a biology student, it was one of my favorite classes! He's patient and kind, and he's a fair grader! You'll get an A if you show up, pay attention, and put forth the effort!

BIOL 501 : Biology for Middle Grade Teaching
This course will provide concepts and learning activities for middle school teacher and will emphasize the study of life from molecule to organism, with a focus on the structure and function of cells, mechanisms of heredity and change, biodiversity, phylogenetic relationships among organisms, biology of populations, and communities, and ecosystems.
PHYS 502: Physics for Middle Grades Teaching
To provide individuals interested in teaching middle school science with knowledge of the principles and applications in physics from a unified energy-based outlook, and how to present the laws of physics to the middle grades students. Emphasis will be placed on problem solving methods and the development of critical thinking skills.
EAES 512: Earth and Space Science for Middle Grade Teaching
This course introduces students to the physical world and how humans and other organisms fit into that world. The events that lead to the Earth's present configuration, natural phenomenon and water resource questions will be discussed.
CHEM 504: Chemistry for Middle Grade Teaching. This course introduces teachers to concepts and learning activities in chemistry for middle school teachers. Emphasis will be on examining changes of state, properties of solutions, chemical compounds and elements, simple chemical reactions, and energy transfer processes.
BIOL 100: Biological Sciences. The study of life from molecule to organism with focus on structure and function of cells, mechanisms of heredity and change, survey of animals and plants and their interrelationships in the living world.
EAES 107 Earth and the Environment. The study of the natural processes of the earth and the effects of human activities on the environment. Earth materials, processes and systems, and the engineering properties of natural materials will be discussed, as well as pollution of soil, water and air.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
SC-104-WE1
Description
This introductory college level science course provides a survey of man made and naturally caused environmental problems and their probable solutions. Topics such as river pollution, chemical hazards, the atmosphere, ecosystems, energy, recycling, and endangered species will be presented and discussed from a scientific perspective. The laboratory component will include the scientific method as a means of investigating the environment some laboratory analysis, field study methods, as well as computer simulations.
HUMAN BIOLOGY
BS-100 – ME1
A one semester lecture and laboratory designed for non-science majors for the study of the structure and function of all the body systems. This course covers current issues such as genetic engineering and biotechnology and health concerns such as AIDS and cancer. Laboratory experiments include light microscopy, human anatomy and physiology and representative dissections.
CH 103 Introduction to General and Organic Chemistry
4 credits. This course covers an introduction to chemical principles including atomic structure, stoichiometry, solution chemistry, pH, organic and inorganic nomenclature, basic reaction chemistry, physical properties of organic and inorganic compounds, and an introduction to nuclear chemistry. Laboratory exercises reinforce chemical principles. Medical applications of chemical principles and solutions to numerical problems are stressed. It is intended for non-science and allied health science majors.
