students to be thoroughly prepared for each lab. Late lab work will NOT be accepted for points. Supplementary materials: We will look at portions of the NOVA series: RX for Survival: a Global Health Challenge, deal specifically with modern day drug resistant viruses and threats to human health. We will take a look at some clips from the BBC and National Geographic series Planet Earth, Discovery Life and Untamed Americas when we get into diversity of organisms and ecology. Readings from Nature and National Geographic will also be used in to illustrate the role of science and technology in society.
