Environmental Science requires an understanding of Biology, Chemistry, and Ecology which allows the student to develop scientific skills and apply them to problems and issues that face the Erie community, state and nation. Students are involved in the monitoring of Cascade Creek and the Lake Erie Watershed. They also participate in Project LIFE, a mentoring program for elementary students. The young environmentalists teach the elementary students how to problem solve about the environment. The program facilitator is a national leader and author in environmental science .
Studies also involve Lake Erie.
Students who participate in this program mentor elementary students, facilitating hands-on environmental projects for these students. Students who participate in this program make local and state presentations. The entire school is aware of the need to cherish the earth and its resources. Theme teaching provides a mode of teaching that is exciting and active for students and their teachers. The school will continue to maintain local, state, and national contacts in environmental science.
