The Unity and Diversity of
Animal Life

Focuses on the study of animals living in our biosphere. It begins with a survey of the major animal phyla, followed by units on animal development, animal physiology, and animal behavior.  The instructional activities designed for this course enable students not only to hear about science, but also to engage in the scientific process. Laboratory investigations, small group discussions, and writing assignments play a central role in instruction. Lecture topics are tightly linked to laboratory experiences. 4 credits.
