Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary class.

This is a web based class with a lab component.  Students will be required to read, take notes, and apply concepts in weekly assessments.

In addition, each student will design and conduct a long term experiment, with guidance from the teacher that will be peer reviewed and used as a portion of the final grade.

• understand the interrelationships of the natural world
• identify and analyze environmental problems, both natural and human-made
• evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems
• examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them
