Course Description
This course is intended to meet a laboratory science requirement for the non-science major. The student will become familiar with the structure and function of plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. An understanding of plant diversity develops through the study of plant evolution and classification. A variety of interesting plants native to various parts of the world will be observed and discussed with emphasis on their structure, growth requirements, propagation and ecological role in the natural landscape. Laboratory activities include greenhouse projects and several field trips. (Prerequisite: MATH-012, MATH-015 or satisfactory completion of the College's foundational studies requirement in computation, READ-095 or satisfactory completion of the College's foundational studies requirement in reading, and ENGL-095 or satisfactory completion of the College's foundational studies requirement in writing).
