Environmental Science

What Current Students Say...

We do a lot of fun activities and experiments in groups that help us learn about making the environment healthier

Many students take Environmental Science because they have a career-related interest or interest in the topics

Some common challenges include: vocabulary/terms and pace or reading requirements

Advice to Future Students?

  • Get involved in the activities.

  • Don’t procrastinate - do the formatives, be prepared.

What Else You Should Know...

Don’t confuse this with Earth Science - this course talks about human care for the environment and how humans have changed it

Average students spend less than one hour of work outside of class per two days of block

There is one to two labs per unit, and the summative is a traditional assessment, and there is a action-based semester project

Students should be familiar with graphing, experimental vocabulary and data interpretation, and arguing from evidence
