A new geology lab science course for the spring of
2012. This course has been approved to meet the lab science
general education requirement. Class will meet on Tuesday and

mix of short lecture presentation, hands-on learning activities, and
longer lab projects.
GY 199 Investigation
Earth introduces the Earth sciences with hands-on classroom
activities. Course will look at processes that shape the Earth
(i.e. plate tectonics), threaten our lives, (i.e.
earthquakes, volcanoes, huricanes), control our natural resources
(water, fossils, metals), and govern our environment (climate change).
A requirement for this course will be that students bring a lap
top computer to each class. Students will make use of the web and
freely available software (such as Google Earth) during class.
If you are interested in the course or have any questions please contact
Dr. McNaught.
