Course Description
This course consists of a survey of the plant and animal kingdoms, with some coverage of the other
domains of life. Phylogenetic relationships and physical, morphological, and behavioral adaptations of
organisms are emphasized. We will seek to have a greater appreciation of the diversity of God’s creation in our study of microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals. We will seek to link our academic understanding of taxonomy to environmental issues and practical applications through course readings and discussion.
