This is a non-lab science course designed to investigate the role of humans in their environment.
Students develop a knowledge base about their biological and physical environment.
This information leads to exploration of human dependence on, technological control over, and interactions with the environment. Emphasis is placed on sustaining resources and making informed choices concerning environmental issues. Evaluate scientific information and arrive at defendable conclusions as to its validity and applicability. Describe and discuss the environmental implications of the cycles of biologically important materials through the ecosystem. Discuss the limitations placed on living systems by energy transfer efficiencies.
