AP Environmental Science is interdisciplinary involving the fields of ecology, biology, ocean and atmospheric sciences, climatology, chemistry, geology, physics, toxicology, geography, economics, politics, and ethics. It is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory environmental science course, both in the wide range of topics studied, and in the depth, specificity and detail of course material.
Course Goals
1. Provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships in the natural world.
2. To identify and analyze environmental problems or challenges (both natural and human-made)
3. To evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems and then examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them.
