EDUX 7295. This course for high school and college science teachers begins with an overview of the Earth's systems (geophysical, atmospheric, oceanic, and ecosystems) as they exist independently of human influence. The course also explores the effect that human activities have on the different natural systems. Topics include human population growth and resource use, increasing competition for fresh water, and climate change. Each of the course sessions features two case studies following top scientists in the field. This course will help teachers of biology, chemistry, and Earth science provide more subject-matter content in their classes. The course and optional online resources include streamed video programs, an online course text, five interactive simulations, background on the scientists who created the content and those whose research is documented, and a professional development guide.
