Spring:

 

SCED 600 Science Education Research for K-12 Teachers (2 credits, on line, January 14 - May 9, 2007)  Courtney Willis (Courtney.willis at unco.edu)  is the Instructor and it is offered through the Office of Extended studies.  This course will probably be ready for registration via UNC's URSA system in mid December.

 

SCI 532 Energy for Today and Tomorrow (3 credits, on line, January 14 - May 9, 2007) Instructor: Ruwang Sung; ruwang.sung at unco.edu <mailto:ruwang.sung at unco.edu> .  The purpose of this course is to help you become familiar with the fundamental energy concepts and with common problems and solutions of energy production and use. Various types of energy and energy production will be discussed along with the appropriate laws of physics and examples in a real world, for example, energy use patterns in the U.S. compared with in a developing country, such as China. Environmental issues related to energy use will also be discussed. Some practical arithmetic calculations will be introduced for problem solving. This course will probably be ready for registration via URSA in mid December.

 

SCED 530   Lab, Field, and Studio Safety (1 credit, on line, February 5 through March 7, 2007) This course is ready for registration on URSA - use CRN 22459.

 

ESCI 605 Earth Science: Global Change (3 credits, On line, January 14 - May 9, 2007) Instructor: Cindy Shellito; lucinda.shellito at unco.edu <mailto:lucinda.shellito at unco.edu> 

This course will introduce students to the science of global change through analysis of current data available on line and articles from the popular media and scientific journals. The focus of this course is on learning about the Earth as a system, and understanding and quantifying the interactions that occur between the various components of the system: the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the land surface. Students will participate in on line discussion of articles and assignments, and complete a term project directed toward developing learning activities for classroom use.  This course is ready for registration on URSA, so use CRN 22708.
