This is a yearlong course designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester introductory college course in environmental science. It will prepare students to take the College Board Advanced Placement Environmental Science exam in May. The course combines the disciplines of geology, biology, zoology, environmental science, chemistry, geography, toxicology, and environmental economics. It provides students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems (both natural and human-made), and to examine the role science and technology can play in identifying alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. Local research scientists will speak on topics relevant to the management of local resources. Heavy emphasis is placed on scientific processes, lab, and outdoor fieldwork. |
