In this course, students will have the opportunity to investigate emerging environmental changes, such as global warming, ozone depletion, the fate of plastic in the oceans, water quality, and food security through the lens of a natural scientist. We will explore urbanization and population as key drivers of environmental changes, and analyze sustainability and life cycles of consumer products. Throughout the course, we will identify the root causes and the role humans play in environmental changes and look at different ways we are responding to them. Students will develop narratives of personal connections to the natural systems, make more informed decisions through scientific literacy, understand their individual impacts and develop solutions, create scientific visual representations to communicate to diverse audiences, and develop data interpretation skills.
