BIOL 207 Winter Ecology and Outdoor Adventures (SI)
This course will focus on how organisms survive winter conditions in South Dakota. We will learn about the conditions that organisms must endure, their strategies for staying alive, and some of the consequences of these strategies. We will also learn how we can not just survive in winter conditions, but thrive. We will learn some survival skills, experience winter sports, and examine closely our relationship with the winter season. There will be a four-day trip to the Black Hills in order to guarantee some snowy conditions to practice what we have learned.
Prerequisite
