1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE COURSE SYLLABUS TEXT BOOKS: G. Tyler Miller, Living in the Environment, Brooks/Cole Thompson Learning, 12 th ed. William Molnar, AP Environmental Science Laboratory Investigations COURSE DESCRIPTION: AP Environmental Science is a year long course designed to be the equivalent of a one semester, introductory college course in environmental science. The goal of the AP environmental science course as described by the College Board, is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. Environmental science is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study including biology, chemistry, earth science, social sciences, and politics. There will be a strong laboratory and field study component to this course. Students will be expected to participate in some activities outside of the normal classroom hours. Experiences both in the laboratory and in the field provide students with unique opportunities to explore how classroom learned concepts apply to the real world. COURSE THEMES: The following themes provide a foundation for the structure of the AP Environmental Science course: 1) Science is a process a. Science is the method of learning more about the world. b. Science constantly changes the way we understand the world. 2) Energy conversions underlie all ecological processes a. Energy cannot be created; it must come from somewhere. b. As energy flows through systems, at each step more of it becomes unusable. 3) The Earth itself is one interconnected system a. Natural systems change over time and space. b. Biogeochemical systems vary in ability to recover from disturbances. 4) Humans alter natural systems a. Humans have had an impact on the environment for millions of years b. Technology and population growth have enabled humans to increase both the rate and scale of their impact on the environment. 5) Environmental problems have a cultural and social context a. Understanding the role of cultural, social, and economic factors is vital to the development of solutions. 6) Human survival depends on developing practices that will achieve sustainable systems a. A suitable combination of conservation and development is required. b. Management of common resources is essential.
2 METHODS: Students enrolled in AP environmental science should expect a rigorous, involved, and interactive course of study. As this is an elected course, it is expected that all students enrolled are agreeing to participate in all aspects of the course to their fullest extent. AP environmental science employs a variety of classroom methods including lectures and notes, laboratory investigations, field investigations, student written and oral research projects, class discussions, group work, and active student participation.
