Life and Physical Sciences 3001 Earth Science 3101 Chemistry Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Algebra Grade Level: 912 Grade Level: 912 Credit: 1.00 Earth Science courses offer insight into the environment on earth and the earth’s environment in space. While presenting the concepts and principles essential to students’ understanding of the dynamics and history of the earth, these courses usually explore oceanography, geology, astronomy, meteorology, and geography. APS Credit: 1.00 Chemistry courses involve studying the composition, properties, and reactions of substances. These courses typically explore such concepts as the behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases; acid/base and oxidation/reduction reactions; and atomic structure. Chemical formulas and equations and nuclear reactions are also studied. APS 3003 Environmental Science 3151 Physics Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Algebra II or concurrent Grade Level: 912 Grade Level: 1112 Credit: 1.00 Environmental Science courses examine the mutual relationships between organisms and their environment. In studying the interrelationships among plants, animals, and humans, these courses usually cover the following subjects: photosynthesis, recycling and regeneration, ecosystems, population and growth studies, pollution, and conservation of natural resources. APS Credit: 1.00 Physics courses involve the study of the forces and laws of nature affecting matter, such as equilibrium, motion, momentum, and the relationships between matter and energy. The study of physics includes examination of sound, light, and magnetic and electric phenomena. APS 3051 Biology 3159 Physical Science Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Grade Level: 912 Grade Level: 912 Credit: 1.00 Biology courses are designed to provide information regarding the fundamental concepts of life and life processes. These courses include (but are not restricted to) such topics as cell structure and function, general plant and animal physiology, genetics, and taxonomy. APS Credit: 1.00 Physical Science courses involve study of the structures and states of matter. Typically (but not always) offered as introductory survey courses, they may include such topics as forms of energy, wave phenomenon, electromagnetism, and physical and chemical interactions.

Life and Physical Sciences 3201 Integrated Science CompasLearning Courses Prerequisite: 3159 Physical Science Grade Level: 912 Credit: 1.00 The specific content of Integrated Science courses varies, but they draw upon the principles of several scientific specialties—earth science, physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics—and organize the material around thematic units. Common themes covered include systems, models, energy, patterns, change, and constancy. These courses use appropriate aspects from each specialty to investigate applications of the theme. Prerequisite: Grade Level: 912 Credit 1.00 CompassLearning Physical Science courses involve study of the structures and states of matter. Typically (but not always) offered as introductory survey courses, they may include such topics as forms of energy, wave phenomenon, electromagnetism, and physical and chemical interactions. APS 3994 Life and Physical Sciences - 3008 Earth/Space Science Proficiency Development Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Grade Level: 912 Grade Level: 912 Credit: 1.00 Life and Physical Sciences—Proficiency Development courses are designed to assist students in acquiring the skills necessary to pass proficiency examinations related to the life sciences and physical sciences. Northwest Campus/UAF Dual Credit Courses 3099 Biology - Other Prerequisite: Grade Level: 912 Credit: 1.25 BIOL F100 NWC/UAF Introduction to scientific methodology and biological principles with a focus on humans as biological organisms. Topics include organization of the human body, human genetics, human development and the relationship between our bodies and health. Includes lecture, discussion, lab and projects. Offered through distance education. Offered at the Northwest campus as demand warrants. May not be used as biology elective credit for a major in biological sciences. Note: Intended for non-science majors and those seeking preliminary instruction before beginning study in health-related areas. APS Credit 1.00 CompassLearning Earth and Space Science courses introduce students to the study of the earth from a local and global perspective. In these courses, students typically learn about time zones, latitude and longitude, atmosphere, weather, climate, matter, and energy transfer. Advanced topics often include the study of the use of remote sensing, computer visualization, and computer modeling to enable earth scientists to understand earth as a complex and changing planet. APS 3051 Biology Prerequisite: Grade Level: 912 Credit 1.00 CompassLearning Biology courses are designed to provide information regarding the fundamental concepts of life and life processes. These courses include (but are not restricted to) such topics as cell structure and function, general plant and animal physiology, genetics, and taxonomy.
