BOTANICS AND STORAGE OF PLANTS
(objectives)
The course of "Botany and plant conservation" aims to provide basic knowledge on the morpho-functional organization of plant organisms, including fungi and to introduce the student to plant systematics and evolutionary aspects of the Plant Kingdom with particular reference to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and fungi. The course also aims to provide knowledge about the distribution of plants and the competence for monitoring and conservation of plants. Finally, the course aims to provide a broad overview of the various implications that Botany has in other fields.
The expected results of the course include the acquisition of theoretical and methodological skills, i.e. knowing how to recognize taxa using classical analytical keys and modern digital ones, how to apply sampling and data collection techniques, use of microscope and stereomicroscope.

GENERAL CHEMISTRY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide knowledge of the fundamental principles of general and inorganic chemistry and the ability to apply this knowledge to the solution of simple general chemistry problems, with particular reference to the environmental sphere. In particular, the teaching objectives are the acquisition of cultural skills, such as the knowledge of chemical terminology in terms of formulas and structures and the familiarity of concepts such as the chemical bond, chemical balance and acidity / basicity. Objectives of the course are also the acquisition of methodological skills, and the ability to perform simple calculations inherent in chemical reactions.

FISICS
(objectives)
The course aims to provide knowledge of the main phenomena of physics and their connections with other disciplines and research Areas (Chemistry, Biology and Geology) and, in particular, aims to provide 1) a basic knowledge of general physics topics (from Newton's laws to fluids and thermodynamics, and from electrostatics and magnetism to modern physics, including electromagnetic waves, introduction to quantum physics and nuclear physics); 2) the ability to contextualize and solve basic general physics problems; 3) create a critical approach and develop "problem solving" skills with the use of basic physical models (for example, virus spreading models); and therefore to provide 4) the basic scientific and conceptual tools necessary for the study of the physical, chemical and natural sciences. Upon completion of this course the students will have a good knowledge of the basic principles of physics and its practical applications to Sciences. The students will also be able to solve problems related to the material studied and will have developed a critical approach to scientific problems.
