The Advanced Placement Environmental Science course is designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college course in environmental science. It is an interdisciplinary course that will apply students’ prior knowledge to investigate the interrelationships of the natural world. The course will follow the outline developed by the College Examination Board. Topics covered include: ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, population dynamics, environmental toxicology, energy, air pollution, water pollution, biodiversity, soils, and solid and hazardous waste.
