Zoology Course Description:
This course is intended as an overview of the science of zoology, the study of animals. Virtually every topic we explore would be a one or two semester self-contained course at the university level. When you have completed this course you will have a foundational understanding of animal life on earth spans from the molecular and genetic, through the development of an embryo to an adult, the anatomy and physiology of that adult, the major groups of animal life and how they interact with the world and each other. Interspersed over both semesters with be actual and virtual field trips so that the natural history of animals will be interwoven with the unfolding course content. We will have hands on labs that respectfully focus on life, avoiding harm if possible.
