Environmental Science 11/12

Environmental science is the interdisciplinary study of how the natural world works and our human impact on it. Environmental Science 12 focuses on global ecosystems and builds on the ecology learned in Environmental Science 11. We will incorporate multiple field trips to explore our planet’s diverse ecosystems, including our oceans, looking at conservation, restoration and sustainable human uses. We will also focus on many current environmental issues, including the climate emergency and our overuse of plastic, looking not just at the problems, but working towards real-life global solutions and how we can help implement them. Environmental Science 12 is accepted as a Grade 12 science course at many universities, including UBC, SFU and UVic.
