Course Description
Environmental Science is a standards-based elective ending in a district-level examination. The Environmental Science curriculum places emphasis on the relationships between living organisms and their environment and the ecological concerns of modern society. Building on the instruction from The Living Environment and the Physical Settings, this curriculum will help students make educated decisions regarding the interaction of human activities with natural resources, pollution, endangered species and local, state and federal legislation.
Laboratory experiences are required but can be embedded into the five periods per week of classroom instructional seat time.
