Readings: text from page 4 - 9 "Science as a way of knowing" especially including the distinction between a hypothesis and a theory; Figure 1.4 (p5)
Start with pragmatic resource conservation in North America (text pages 13 to 14); moral and aesthetic nature preservation, utilitarian and bicentric viewpoints;
current environmental conditions (p15-18); rich and poor countries (p19).
By the end of lecture 2 you should be able to define and/or discuss: biocentric, blind experiments, controlled studies, double-blind, hypothesis, reproducibility, theory, utilitarian.
You should know who Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir were and what the words utilitarian and biocentric mean.

What is matter? (text page 27 - 30); What is energy? Atoms, Molecules and Compounds; Chemical Reactions; Acids/ pH

More on the topic of Energy and Matter in the Environment (p31 - 36); Food Chains...; Figures 2.14, 2.15; Ecological pyramids Fig 2.16/17; and class topics related to the Earth's geology covered in the text on pages 265 - 268.

Know photosynthesis and respiration (the basic formula on page 35, not Figure 2.12! p34-35)
