AP Environmental Science

This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory environmental science course. The course integrates the sciences, including biology, chemistry, and earth science with the social sciences to analyze contemporary environmental problems, such as pollution, resource acquisition, biodiversity, global warming and overpopulation. Students will examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing these environmental problems. A strong laboratory and field investigation component is included. Students should have a willingness to invest sufficient outside time to engage in enrichment assignments.
