From Ozone to Oil Spills: Chemistry, The Environment and You

56-1281

Environmental science topics, such as nuclear power, acid rain, and the Greenhouse Effect, will be used in this course to communicate basic scientific concepts in a relevant way. Environmental issues offer a unique way to introduce the major disciplines since many of them have important physical, geological, chemical, and biological dimensions as well as others involving engineering, economics, political science, and psychology. An extensive hands-on laboratory compliments the course. Students incorporate the skills of their major field of study in a course project.
