'Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.' - The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
In the end...
We will conserve only what we love.
We will love only what we understand.
We will understand only what we are taught.

Environmental Science is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study (e.g. biology, chemistry, earth science, geography), yet there are several major unifying themes that cut across the many topics included in the study of environmental science. AP Environmental Science has a significant laboratory and field investigation component. The goal of this component is to complement the classroom portion of the course by allowing students to learn about the environment through firsthand observations. Experiences both in the laboratory and in the field provide students with important opportunities to test concepts and principles that are introduced in the classroom, to explore specific problems with a depth not easily achieved otherwise, and to gain an awareness of the importance of confounding variables that exist in the real world. Examples of investigations include: collecting and analyzing water and soil samples, conducting long term studies on a local ecosystem or environmental problem, analyzing real data sets, and visiting local public facilities such as a water-treatment plant. The laboratory and field component will challenge students abilities to:

It takes knowledge, skill, patience, understanding, and management skills. It is a profession that is constantly changing and takes constant updating to make our student’s experiences in the classroom more rewarding. As a teacher I hope to capture my student’s attention and not only teach them the science content but also life skills which will carry them through the many years ahead. I have been teaching for many years and have had the pleasure of teaching GeoScience, Biology, Physical Science, and AP Environmental Science. I have my undergrad degree in Environmental Science and my Master’s in Education. I have also obtained my Educational Leadership and Administrators credential. |
