Environmental Science

In Environmental Science, we will examine local and global environmental topics such as invasive species, alternative energy, and water quality. Environmental Science integrates ecology, economics, and policy for a well-rounded curriculum that includes both life science and physical science. Students will gain a better understanding of local natural resources, and the way that decisions concerning those resources are made. The goal of the course is to help students make informed decisions as citizens, on a local, federal, and global level.

Students will be required to do a number of short research projects throughout the year to explore topics more deeply and they will be expected to present their findings to the class. Other assessments include reading and discussion, laboratory activities, and a showcase portfolio that includes the students’ best works from each semester.

*All class notes and homework will be posted to Google Classroom
