Advanced Placement Environmental Science is designed to be an introductory college course. This course provides students with the
scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world. The course
content covers topics outlined by the College Board and prepares the students to take the AP exam in May. Some of the themes
covered in this college level course will be: interrelationships of the natural world, energy conversions, environmental problems and
alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Students are involved in laboratory and field investigations, individual research
and writing laboratory reports. Prerequisite: completion of Biology and Chemistry with a grade of “C” or better.
