SCI 105Introduction to Hydroponics2
This course will introduce students to a variety of hy- droponic growing methods and growth requirements of a variety of plant species. Topics include: Plant life cycle, planting medium, planting from seed, propaga- tion, hydroponic growing systems and techniques, en- 165 vironmental requirements for proper growth, pest pres- sure and management, and harvest techniques. We will also study state and federal regulations for canna- bis cultivation. Does not satisfy the FMCC lab science graduation requirement.
This course will expand your knowledge of the culti- vation industry by demonstrating sensible production practices in soil management, basic knowledge of irri- gation systems, plant nutrition, pest and disease man- agement along with other production topics. Does not satisfy the FMCC lab science graduation requirement.
This course includes: the biological roles of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals; digestion, absorption, and storage of nutrients; the chemical nature of foods and food processing; assessment of nutritional status; interactions of nutrients and disease; food supplemen- tation; and community nutrition. Does not satisfy the FMCC lab science graduation requirement.
and Cells 2-3-3 This course is designed for people with no or minimal background in biology. It prepares students to take upper-level biology courses such as BIO 170, BIO 171 and BIO 282. The course introduces students to the characteristics of life, cellular anatomy and physiology, Mendelian and molecular genetics, and evolution. Lab- oratory investigations apply the concepts presented in lecture. The course integrates observation, interpreta- tion, and library research, by means of written labora- tory reports and investigation into scientific literature. General Education: N.
This course focuses on how the systems of the human body operate and how various illnesses interfere with that operation. Lectures cover organ systems from a functional aspect and then diseases from a malfunc- tional perspective, with special attention given to the connection between malfunctions and symptoms. The course also covers how treatment for disease is relat- ed (or not) to system malfunction. Labs cover simple internal anatomy, disease‑causing organisms, simple diagnostics, and such topics as medical ethics and epi- demiology. Laboratory approaches vary from hands‑on dissection to group discussion. General Education: N.
A perspective on the Earth that emphasizes the struc- ture, dynamics, and resources of the planet and ex- amines human use and misuse of finite resources. Major topics: rocks, minerals, and mining soils, from a geologic perspective; surface and underground wa- ters, their movement, origins, use, and abuse; the at- mosphere and its pollution; natural geological hazards, such as landslides, earthquakes, and faults; geother- mal, tidal, and other sources of energy; landforms and land use; wastes and their treatment; environmental action, and the future. Labs include practical identifi- cation of minerals and rocks and topographic maps. General Education: N.
A look at the earth’s history, ancient environments, and the fossil record. The dimension of time is a unifying theme that links: the history and present state of the oceans; fossil fuels; landscapes and their “evolution”; fossilization and the endangered species of the past; evolution and the fossil record of invertebrates and fishes; dinosaurs, mammals, humans, and glaciers; and the geological history of New York State and the Northeast. Labs include detailed study of the fossil re- cord and nearby sedimentary rock sequences. Gen- eral Education: N.
This is the first of a two-course sequence in physics, designed for technology students and other non-sci- ence majors. The course uses lecture, supported by laboratory investigation, to achieve a hands-on, practi- cal approach to understanding important concepts and 166 the physical laws of nature. Topics include: quantitative methods for describing motion; Newton’s three laws of motion and their applications; Newton’s law of gravi- tation and its applications; work, power, and energy; momentum methods for analysis of collisions and ex- plosions; and torque and rotational motion. Prerequi- sites: High School Algebra, MAT 040 or equivalent, or permission of Instructor. General Education: N.
This is the second of a two‑course sequence in physics, designed for technology students and other non‑sci- ence majors. The course uses lectures, supported by laboratory investigation, to achieve a hands-on, prac- tical approach to understanding important concepts and physical laws of nature. Topics include heat and thermodynamics, vibrations and waves, sound, basic electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, geometric and wave optics, atoms and spectra, and atomic nuclei and nuclear energy. Prerequisites: High school algebra, MAT 040 or equivalent, or permission of Instructor. SCI 161 recommended. General Educa- tion: N.
This course is designed for technology students and other non-science majors to learn about physical sci- ence fundamentals through an exploration of the world around us. Through hands-on labs and light research into engaging topics (such as alternative energy, how we use energy, and everyday life situations), we will discover the whys of what we observe by learning about and applying some basic physical science prin- ciples. We will take a practical approach to learn fun- damental concepts such as work, power, energy, heat, thermodynamics, vibrations, waves, sound, light, basic electricity, and magnetism. Prerequisites: High school algebra, MAT 040 or equivalent, or permission of In- structor. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 3. General Education: N.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical principles, and is intended for students having little or no chemistry background who seek entrance into allied health careers. Topics covered include: scientific notation, dimensional analysis, stoi- chiometry, modern atomic theory, bonding, chemical
