    Description
    This course presents inorganic and biochemical chemistry for non-science majors; students learn about basic chemical principles and how they relate to current environmental issues that shape society, both globally and locally. As they gain a scientific understanding of some challenges that face humanity, such as climate change, our growing energy demands, and future health needs, students analyze how problems and solutions are impacted by human activity. CREDIT COURSE LISTINGS & DESCRIPTIONS Students perform experiments where they learn common laboratory techniques, including safe handling of chemicals and proper use of laboratory equipment to gain hands-on experience with how humans affect the chemistry of the Earth's natural systems.
