EASC 111 - Matter and Energy in Earth Science

Credits: (5)
Natural Sciences
Hands-on (i.e. lab-based) exploration of Earth sciences developing understanding of the interactions of matter and energy in Earth processes such as rock formation, plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanism. The inquiry also develops tools to understand how Earth has changed over geologic time-scales. Lab included. This course is open to all students and is strongly recommended for the Associate in Education and Early Childhood Education degrees, and is a highly desired science course for students pursuing Woodring College of Education’s ECE or Elementary Ed. programs at WWU. The suggested sequence is PHYS 111 followed by EASC 111.

Prerequisite: ENGL 099 with a grade of “C” or higher (or placement into college-level English); and either placement into OR co-enrollment in OR completion of a college-level Math course with a grade of “C” or higher.
