This course will explore the energy issues of today and tomorrow, including where the energy of the future will come from, energy independence, global warming, nuclear power, the potential of renewable energy sources, and the future of coal, showing how these are affected by history, geography, politics, technology, and the laws of physics and economics.
A lecture demonstration course covering the mechanics of solids, liquids, gases, heat, and sound. Credit is not given to students who already have credit for PHY 201, 211 or 231.
The basics of electric circuits, magnetism, object motion, naked-eye astronomy and light behavior. The course is designed in conjunction with GLY 160 to provide basic concepts of earth science, astronomy and physics appropriate for elementary and middle school teachers. Both courses are taught with an emphasis on inquiry-based, laboratory activities. Lecture, one hour; laboratory, five hours per week.

First part of a two-semester survey of classical and modern physics, focusing on the motion of solids and fluids as governed by Newton's Laws and by the conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum. Lecture, two hours; recitation, two hours; laboratory, two hours. Credit is not given to students who already have credit for PHY 231 and 241.
