Course Length: Semester Credit: 0.5 Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisite(s): None

Description:   Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary exploration of the natural world and the complex interactions between humans and the environment. This course introduces students to foundational concepts in ecology, earth systems, biodiversity, energy resources, and environmental change. Through scientific inquiry, case studies, and hands-on activities, students will examine current environmental challenges—including climate change, pollution, land use, and resource management—and evaluate evidence-based strategies for creating sustainable solutions.

FlexLab Component: This course is offered asynchronously. No live instructional classes will be provided. The teacher will be available for support, as needed. FlexLab courses contain two required components - failure to complete both will result in failure of the course:

1. Online Coursework Students will complete coursework independently online with milestones and deadlines built within the course. Course content will include digital lessons, video instruction and lectures, readings, and interactive assignments delivered through our learning management system. 
2. Virtual Lab Sessions Students will participate in TWO of five lab sessions, each session will last up to THREE hours.  Labs may include dissections, data collection, chemical reactions, and/or group problem solving. Students will submit lab reports or reflective journals after each lab session.)
