The goal of this course is to provide science educators and others with the fundamentals of microbiology. This information will allow participants to expand their knowledge base and enhance teaching activities in this subject. Teachers will gain an appreciation of microbiology through readings, web searches, active participation in discussions, assignments, and an experiment on microorganisms. They will also learn that microbiology can be applied in daily life, in biotechnology, and in studying complex issues such as our dependence on microbes.

Today's science teacher faces challenges and issues which were just beginning to gain attention 10, 15, or 20 years ago. And, teaching today's science requires both an integrated background and approach in the classroom. Water Quality in the Classroom - A Characterization of the Science and Issues - is a 'must' course for teachers involved in any aspect of biological sciences.

The primary goal of this course is to increase the water resource knowledge of students through hands-on, field-based curriculum. To accomplish this, students will be asked to adopt a local stream and perform lab assignments "in the field" to better understand hands-on water quality monitoring techniques. The course will improve the teaching skills of secondary science teachers utilizing distant delivery technologies.

This course is all about the relationships between organisms. These relationships are all around us from organisms such as lichens that are composed of two separate species that can’t live on their own to the complex relationships that exist between clownfish and anemones. The relationship can also be harmful such as with heartworms in dogs. The complexity of the relationships in the world around us gives numerous opportunities to connect with your school curriculum.
