FYW-1292 Chemistry, Discovery and the Nobel Prize


The development of modern chemistry involves real people wrestling with explaining their observations and defending those explanations against opposing claims.  As real people, these scientists struggle with pride, moral dilemmas, and a desire to be recognized.  Students will be challenged to investigate what constitutes discovery, and how these discoveries are valued.  The development of written arguments supporting their understanding of Nobel Prize worthy discoveries will be emphasized. 4 credits.
