The AP Environmental Science course is designed to engage students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships within the natural world. The course requires that students identify and analyze natural and human-made environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Environmental science is interdisciplinary, embracing topics from geology, biology, environmental studies, environmental science, chemistry, and geography.

Laboratory Requirement: It is required that students have the opportunity to spend a minimum of 25% of instructional time engaged in hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory and/or fieldwork investigations. With the nature of how this is going, you can expect to be conducting these labs virtually, either through watching demonstrations that I have prepared, or through online simulations. You can also expect to be asked to collect lab materials from the natural world (outside) to conduct tests/observations.
