Environmental Science

Cover mechanics, energy, waves, and thermodynamics through problems and hands-on lab experiments.

Master derivatives and integrals — the math of rates of change and areas under curves.

Survey life from molecules to ecosystems — cells, genetics, evolution, ecology, and organ systems.

Study atoms, bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics at the molecular level.

Apply statistical tests and modeling to environmental field data and ecological surveys.

Study how living organisms respond to pollution, habitat loss, and environmental change.

Analyze how organisms interact with each other and their environments in populations and ecosystems.

Analyze pollutants in air, water, and soil — their sources, reactions, and cleanup methods.

Analyze soil composition, formation, and chemistry for agriculture and environmental management.

Study Earth's climate system, greenhouse gases, feedback loops, and climate modeling techniques.

Study how water moves through rivers, aquifers, and watersheds, and how to manage water resources.

Map and analyze spatial data using software to solve environmental and planning problems.

Examine regulations like the Clean Air Act and how policy shapes environmental protection.

Collect ecological data outdoors — sampling techniques, species surveys, and habitat assessment.
