Some topics will include: ● Ecological Principles; ● Environmental Challenges and Successes; ● Ethics; ● Human Population and Carrying Capacity; ● Natural Resources; ● Sustainability; ● World Views. Some course content is flexible to allow teachers and students to take advantage of selecting local topics or areas of special interest. A portion of the course is dedicated to project-based learning where critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills will be developed in the process of examining and analysing environmental issues. With guidance and teacher-directed models, students will learn to follow a scientific inquiry process within their own investigations of environmental issues.
