The objective of this course is to introduce educators and others to the complex world of Microbial Ecology. We will achieve this by exploring a wide range of topics within this subject area including the ecology of microorganisms in relation to nutrition, growth, metabolism, biogeochemical cycling, natural environments, and microbial interactions. You will be encouraged to dive in and investigate the various topics and make them relevant within your life, own classroom or work situation.

Appreciating the complexity of the biosphere involves consideration of its microbial constituents. Environmental impacts and global climate change often show early evidence in its smallest inhabitants. This course is designed for science educators, but will provide all interested participants with the fundamentals of environmental and applied microbiology.

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 goal of this course is to introduce teachers to the basic principles of soil science as an integral part of the curriculum for environmental sciences, ecology, earth science, geology, water quality, and geography. The course is structured around twelve basic soil concepts, beginning with the significance of soil in our everyday lives and progressing through soil formation, the physical and chemical properties of soils, and the role soil and the earth play in environmental management today and in the future.

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.
