This course covers human environmental impact. Students can expect to receive a short video lesson (approximately 3-8 minutes each) and loads of hands-on opportunities throughout the duration of the course. Students receive instruction for optional lab experiments, links to interactives, research prompts, project ideas, and participate in engineering challenges. I believe learning is more than just a lecture and this class is a great demonstration of that! 

Weekly topics are as follows: 
week 1: scientific and engineering vocabulary
week 2: renewable vs. nonrenewable resources 
week 3: plastic pollution 
week 4: biomagnification 
week 5: climate change 
week 6: farming impact 
week 7: eutrophication
week 8: ocean acidification
week 9: loss of biodiversity
week 10: Kigali Ammendment & legislative efforts
week 11: technology 
week 12: individual impact

Video and informational posts will be added to the classroom Sunday of each week.   Students with a genuine interest in environmental science can expect to learn high level curriculum concepts in a fun and engaging way. They will be encouraged to integrate what they have learned into their life, share their ideas with their community (friends, family, organizations, etc.) and create their own original concepts.
