Course Description

Designed to be the equivalent of introductory college environmental science, students may earn college credit by examination. This course provides students with the conceptual framework, knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the sciences of the environment. Both short and long term laboratory investigations are an integral part of the curriculum.

AP Environmental Science will provide a comprehensive study of ecological concepts and environmental issues and includes topics on scientific analysis, interdependence of Earth s systems, human population dynamics, renewable and nonrenewable resources, environmental air/water/soil quality, global changes and their consequences, environmental tradeoffs, and societal decision-making.

This course is designed to be taken in place of the Environmental Science/Science and Societal Issues course (#192401) and will be taught in a more rigorous fashion with higher student expectations for scholarship and performance.
