SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS 95 A. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE 100 PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY A presentation and development of biological principles common to both animal and plant kingdoms. A consideration of basic biological phenomena with considerable emphasis upon the molecular approach. Three lectures, one 2-hour laboratory, and one recitation per week. Five credit hours 110 BIOLOGY FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS The identification of the common trees, insects, and birds is emphasized as half of the course.
