Maintaining the chemical reactions that allow the web of life to continue to exist on Earth demands a continuous input of energy. This course examines the flow of energy from the sun into the biosphere through plants and into animals, with a focus on humans. Through a combination of research and oral presentations, problem solving, and group discussions, the chemistry behind this energy flow is explored, as are the ways in which energy is used by living organisms. The nutritional requirements required to support these energy transformations also are considered. Recommended background: high school chemistry.

Measurements made with commercial turn-key instruments typically employ operations whose details are obscured by slick user interfaces. To help students make fuller and more sophisticated use of such instruments, this course provides a hands-on introduction to the details of the hidden operations: simple analog electronics, digital data acquisition, and computer-based data analysis. Students create simple electronic circuits, use the LabVIEW programming language to program computers to generate and acquire electronic signals, and apply MATLAB software to analyze and extract meaning from the measurements they make. Relatively simple experiments and devices relevant to the physical sciences provide opportunities to put the ideas and techniques discussed into practice. Neither experience with computer programming (in LabVIEW, MATLAB, or otherwise) nor knowledge of electronics is assumed.

Studying the origin of life involves research across physics, astronomy, geology, chemistry and biology but with a major lens of chemistry.  Did life begin only once? What makes a planet habitable? How do we go from molecules to cells? Beginning with the formation of planets and stars, progressing to &quot;Earth history&quot;, then trying to define what &quot;life&quot; is, we will assess the current theories for how life started with a chemical lens. We will also discuss how scientists are currently searching for it elsewhere. In addition to learning about the theories surrounding the origin(s) of life and the science involved in solving this difficult question, we will focus on developing a scientific mindset through the primary literature, and the course culminates in the scientific process of proposing experiments to address open questions in the field.

Films such as Radioactive, Oppenheimer and Chernobyl will be used as launching points to introduce the basics of nuclear chemistry, biological effects of radiation, and uses of radiation in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Discussions will include how these topics are presented in major motion pictures and the general publics\u2019 perception of radiation and nuclear chemistry in general. Example topics include the structure of the atom; modes of radioactive decay; isotopes; half-lives; health impacts of radiation exposure; medical applications of radioactivity; development of nuclear weapons; global and moral implications of nuclear weapons; global and moral implications of nuclear energy; and radioactive waste management. Assessments will include discussion boards, reflections and in class presentations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C003<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Ida Piedmonte<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=CHEM+S15\" target=\"course-406\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-407\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>CHEM S28: Chemistry and the Arts<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">In this course we will explore the connection between chemistry and various topics in the arts and arts-related fields. This course will involve learning about the chemistry behind these topics,  exploring the literature behind various artistic practices, and applying hands-on techniques in the laboratory involved in various art processes. This class may involve interaction with scholars who will help introduce new techniques and topics. Example topics covered in this course are the origin of color in pigments and dyes and their identification in pieces of art; the chemistry of ceramics and glazes; the development of polymers, resins, alloys, and composites for sculptures and jewelry-making; the chemical processes behind print-making; authentication, preservation, and restoration of works of art through chemical methods.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<details class=\"course-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<summary>More details<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><span class=\"label\">Modes of Inquiry:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Writing Credit:<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">GEC(s):<\/span> GEC C003, GEC C036<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Cross-listed Course(s):<\/span> None<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor:<\/span> Geneva Laurita<\/li><li><span class=\"label\">Instructor Permission Required:<\/span> No<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details><p class=\"catalog-full-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.bates.edu\/course-search\/?details=1&#038;code=CHEM+S28\" target=\"course-407\">Full Catalog Listing<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"catalog-course _full-view\" id=\"course-408\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5>CHEM S39: Designing, Fabricating, and Testing Mechanical Devices<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"course-description\">This course introduces students to mechanical design principles through readily available three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software and newly accessible additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printing and laser cutting. Students will explore basic mechanical engineering topics, such as the bending and vibration of beams and material properties, by studying mechanisms including kinematic mirror mounts, cams, and push-latches. Students will design and fabricate their own versions of these mechanisms and study their behavior.

Working independently, students carry out advanced experiments designed to introduce important techniques in modern organic and inorganic chemistry. Concepts covered include advanced preparation methods (such as multi-step synthesis, purification, and crystallization) and characterization techniques (such as spectroscopy, scattering, and microscopy). In addition, students gain hands-on experience with a variety of instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on proper techniques in laboratory work, safety, waste handling, and communicating experimental approaches and results.
