In this course, students will build on their knowledge of natural and physical sciences while rigorously preparing for the AP Environmental Science exam. The course will cover a broad range of topics including ecosystem ecology, energy resources and consumption, population growth, land and water use, waste and pollution, and global change. Students will use their growing understanding of scientific principles and reasoning to explore, analyze, and propose solutions to a series of current environmental problems, both natural and human-made. Inquiry based labs and occasional field trips will allow students to apply course concepts to real world scenarios. The AP Environmental Science course is designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in environmental science.
Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra I, high school Biology, and high school Chemistry. A course in Earth Science is helpful but not required.
