Natural Sciences 191CNS38 - FYS- Explor/SoundinAnimlKingdm

Ever wonder why birds sing or how bats catch prey in the dark? Animals use sound for a variety of functions critical to survival and reproduction: to attract mates, to navigate complex environments, to signal approaching threats, and more. In this seminar, we'll dive underwater with singing whales and clicking dolphins, and learn how scientists all over the world are decoding animal communication and exploring nature's acoustic landscape, one sound wave at a time. We'll explore these concepts through in-class activities, group discussions, and we'll even get outside to listen for ourselves and generate our own scientific questions.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
