1301. Chemistry and Consumer Products (3-0)
Describes some of the ways that chemistry and chemical technology
contribute to the manner in which we live and work and influence the
nation's economy. Topics relate directly to the interest of students majoring
in art, general business, marketing, economics, industrial education,
and general education. No prerequisite.
1302. Chemistry, Health, and the Environment (3-0)
Introduces the metabolic substances and chemical processes of the
human body and describes the relationship of food nutrients, food additives,
cosmetics, medicines, drugs and other chemicals to man's health
and life in the modern world. Topics on health are especially suited to the
interest of students majoring in physical education, psychology, speech
pathology and audiology, sociology, social work, and general education.
No prerequisite.
1303. Chemistry: Then and Now (3-0)
Covers many of the important and interesting aspects of chemistry in
both ancient and modern times. Certain substances and chemical processes
