Environmental Science is designed to provide students with the scientific principles and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world and to apply that understanding to environmental problems and issues. Topics will include ecology and botany as well as economics, sociology, and government. Students will directly assess environmental quality through outdoor observation, water quality testing, soil and air analysis, and research in our botanical greenhouse. This course is designed to use scientific methodologies to understand ecosystems and assess human impact as well as evaluating solutions to environmental problems in the context of our culture.
