Institutional Learning Outcomes: Students apply the basic principles of physics to the actions, body design and physical limitations of animals, mainly vertebrates. Topics include physical concepts of forces, materials structure, fluid mechanics, light and sound, and electricity and magnetism. These topics are applied to biological aspects such as strength of bodies, movement through air and water, and organismal behaviour. This course is offered in the Winter semester of odd-numbered years. Prerequisite: PHYS 1100 and 1200 or 1150 and 1250 and BIOL 1040 or 1050 or 1110 or 1210 (BIOL 1210 preferred) Required Lab: PHYS 3300L
