Course Overview:

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.
