Great Questions in Biology: Nutrition |
2 - 1 - 3 |
45 |
|
| Description for Course: |
This goal of this course is to help students understand what constitutes a balanced diet. It will cover essential nutrients, energy balance, ideal body weight, eating disorders, food packaging and labelling, health foods and weight loss. The special dietary needs of young adults, athletes and vegetarians will also be examined, and students will learn how computers and other technology can be used in nutritional analysis and research. |

Interpretation of Nature |
2 - 1 - 3 |
45 |
|
| Description for Course: |
This course explores our relationship with the environment. Students are introduced to the cycling of elements through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem, as well as to the flow of energy through the various trophic levels. They are given an overview of current environmental imbalances produced as a result of our increasing reliance on technology, and they develop some of the technological skills used to study nature, design an experiment and interpret results. |
