Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

Density Column Lab - Part 2

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Concluding a two-part lab activity, students use triple balance beams and graduated cylinders to take measurements and calculate densities of several household liquids and compare them to the densities of irregularly shaped objects (as determined in Part 1). Then they create density columns with the three liquids and four solid items to test their calculations and predictions of the different densities. Once their density columns are complete, students determine the effect of adding detergent to the columns. After this activity, present the associated Density & Miscibility lesson for a discussion about why the column layers do not mix.

Students see how surface tension can enable light objects (paper clips, peppercorns) to float on an island of oil in water, and subsequently sink when the surface tension of the oil/water interface is reduced by the addition of a surfactant; such as ordinary dish soap.

Drilling, Completing, and Producing from Oil and Natural Gas Wells
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Once a suitable well location has been identified, permitted, and leased, the next steps for oil and natural gas development are drilling, completion, and production:

Drilling typically takes about 50-60 days. It starts with preparing the site (clearing and leveling) and setting up a drilling rig to drill a borehole and feed steel pipe into the well. Drilling mud is used to manage downhole pressures, provide information about the rock layers being drilled through, and keep the drill bit cool. Safety equipment, such as a blowout preventer, is installed to prevent oil and natural gas from being released in rare unexpected overpressure situations.
Completion is a 1-5 week process where the steel pipe in the well is perforated to connect the well bore to the oil or gas reservoir. As needed, additional recovery techniques such as hydraulic fracturing (for low permeability reservoirs) or steam flooding (for thick oil) are applied. A Christmas Tree (series of valves) is installed at the top of the well. As reservoir pressure declines, a pumpjack is installed.
Production from a completed well can last 50+ years. During the production step, the well is monitored, maintained, and managed. In the U.S. the mineral rights owners (individuals) typically receive royalty interest payments on the oil and natural gas produced. In most other countries, the federal government owns the mineral rights.

Four million wells and counting: the history of oil and gas drilling in the U.S.
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Since the first successful oil well in 1859, the U.S. has drilled millions of wells for oil and gas. Drilling surged with demand, technology, and geopolitics, with notable periods like the post-WWII boom and the fracking-driven increase in natural gas wells. This progress has brought economic benefits and energy shifts, yet also raised environmental and social concerns.

Have you seen a Clean Coal baseball cap? In the challenge to meet soaring energy demand with limited resources, volatile issues like those related to the environment, national security and public health are often addressed outside of normal market transactions and are called externalities, or nonmarket factors. Stakeholders can act in resourceful ways to create a nonmarket environment that best serves their interest. A firm may challenge a law that makes it expensive or difficult to do business or compete with others, for example. An individual may organize a boycott of products or services that violate the individual's interests or principles--hey, don't buy from them! Nonmarket strategy in the energy sector is the subject of this engaging course.

Rating
0.0 stars

Oil and gas activities contribute to significant air pollution, resulting in adverse health effects and economic costs. Emissions from drilling, production, and transportation release pollutants that are linked to asthma, heart attacks, and premature deaths, especially impacting vulnerable populations. Addressing these emissions is crucial for protecting public health, mitigating economic burdens, and implementing comprehensive policies to reduce air pollution from the oil and gas industry.

Introduction to Fossil Fuels

0.0 stars

The three fossil fuels are oil, natural gas, and coal. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from deeply-buried, dead organic material subject to high temperature and pressure for hundreds of millions of years. They are a depletable, non-renewable energy resource.

Fossil fuel combustion (converting chemical energy into heat) powered the Industrial Revolution and is the largest contributor to climate change and air pollution. Significant infrastructure, economic value, geopolitical conflict, and legacy environmental issues are associated with fossil fuels.

Let's Get Dirty

In a very hands-on activity, students observe and feel the differences between two cleaning methods, with and without hand soap, using coffee grounds to represent "dirt."Most of the dirt and bacteria on our hands is encased in a thin layer of oil, so because of the properties of oil and water, cleaning your hands with water alone has little effect when trying to remove the dirt. This activity demonstrates the importance of using a surfactant, such as hand soap, when washing your hands.
