Environmental Science

This course is an introductory laboratory-based course that provides students with an opportunity to build foundational knowledge in Earth Science and Biology through the lens of environmental literacy and citizenship. This course focuses on both the physical world and the living systems while addressing socio-scientific issues related to humans' impact on the environment, resource conservation, and legal and civic responsibility. This course may be counted toward high school graduation as either an Earth Science I, Biology I, or an elective science discipline credit. The Environmental Science course does not have an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test.
