This course explores science at a qualitative level from this interdisciplinary viewpoint, with an aim to foster scientific literacy and develop critical thinking skills that are so crucial in today's society. Topics are drawn from biology, chemistry, geography, and physics, and range from the large - the universe, the earth, and ecosystems - to the small - cells, molecules, and atoms. Emphasis is placed on the unifying concepts running through such diversity, with activities and demonstrations forming an integral component. Cross-listed: BIOL-1005(6) and PHYS-1005(6). Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and BIOL-1005 | PHYS-1005. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and PHYS-1005 | BIOL-1005.
