CHEM 100How Things Work: The World through a Chemical Lens3
Meets GOAL 3 and GOAL 8. Chemistry is everywhere in our world. From agriculture to alternative energy to advances in medicine, chemistry is a way to bring about real, global change. Today’s informed citizens and consumers can benefit greatly from a working knowledge of basic chemical concepts. These concepts are presented as lecture-demonstrations and interactive activities for students who wish to gain greater insight into how things work in the chemical world. Meets General Education Program MnTC requirements; not intended as preparation for other chemistry courses. Does not preclude taking any other chemistry courses for credit. Includes chemical demonstrations and use of the scientific method, including data collection and analysis. Not open to students who have earned credit in
Meets GOAL 3 and GOAL 10. Intended to introduce students to chemistry and give them an appreciation and understanding of the role chemistry plays in their everyday lives.

Meets GOAL 3. An integrated Physical Science experience through inquiry-based, hands-on exploration of Physics and Chemistry content. Emphasis on science education principles and connections to state and national science education standards. Lecture and laboratory combined. Field trips required. Grade only. Offered when demand warrants.
Meets GOAL 3 and GOAL 9. This interdisciplinary course in forensic science meets the needs of criminal justice majors as well as students who desire a course that offers a broad scientific experience. This course will offer non-science majors opportunities to see the relevance of chemistry, biology, geology, and physics to their chosen professional life. It will provide an informative overview of techniques used by modern criminalistics labs and offer students a hands-on opportunity to explore the intricacies of how criminal investigation relies on forensic science. Through this course, students will gain an appreciation of how local law enforcement agencies rely on scientific studies for technical field work. Grade or P/NC. Offered annually. Course Registration
