| 1. Describe and demonstrate the procedures of scientific methodology. (I)
2. Trace the selected history of international plant use and distribution by humans from earliest records to the present. (II) 3. Describe and demonstrate the general principles of chemistry including elements, atoms, molecules, bonds, and energy, utilizing a globally popular plant. (III) 4. Describe and demonstrate cellular respiration and energy production in plants including aerobic and anaerobic pathways. (IV) 5. Describe and demonstrate the process of photosynthesis and relate it to cellular respiration. (V) 6. Describe the taxonomy of selected plants. (VI) 7. Describe the taxonomy of vascular plants. (VII) 8. Classify selected plants according to their global economic and aesthetic values. (VIII) 9. Contrast and compare the uses of selected plants in primitive and advanced societies. (IX) 10. Describe and demonstrate the anatomy of several typical vascular plants including roots, stems, and leaves. (X) 11. Describe and demonstrate sexual plant reproduction in species representing selected taxa. (XI) 12. Describe and demonstrate asexual reproduction in selected species. (XII) 13. Describe and demonstrate the growth and development of selected vascular plants with emphasis on hormones, growth, and plant movement. (XIII) 14.
