Environmental science introduces you to an array of careers – especially those that don’t have you sitting at a desk all day.

AP Environmental Science

Grades: 9-12

Credit: 1.0

Graduation requirement: CTE and Lab Science (dual requirement)

CTE dual college credit:

Orientation to Environmental Science Clover Park TC ENV 141 4 credits

Intro to Ecology Clover Park TC ENV 108 5 credits

Description: This is a year-long course designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester introductory college course in environmental science. It will prepare students to take the College Board Advanced Placement Environmental Science exam in May. This course combines the disciplines of geology, biology, environmental science, chemistry, geography, toxicology, and environmental economics. It provides students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems (both natural and human-made), and to examine the role science and technology can play in identifying alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. Heavy emphasis is placed on scientific processes, lab, and fieldwork. Students have leadership and enrichment opportunities through participation in the after school environmental science club (GHECO).
