Offered as demand warrants. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory a week. Fee: $35.00.

A descriptive course intended to familiarize students with the various celestial bodies and to provide an understanding of the structure and the operating principles of the universe. As part of the laboratory sessions, students will be taught to distinguish planets and stars, identify the constellations, and use a star map. The course is designed for students who need a laboratory science to complete their curriculum as well as for students who wish a science elective. There are no prerequisites. There is some math in the laboratory.

Who should take this course

Physics 106, Introductory Astronomy, is a one-semester course in the descriptive astronomy of the planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe. The course is normally taught during the fall semester and requires viewing of the night sky. Physics 106 may be taught as an online course or by traditional methods. While the course is not mathematical, some mathematics is inevitably required in a science. For this reason, the student should be enrolled in or have completed Math 90.
