| Course Description:
Environmental science will provide opportunities for the use of scientific
procedures and equipment in carrying out first-hand, onsite investigations
which affect the local environment. Students will explore and evaluate
alternatives to the existing environmental conditions in terms of scientific
or technological feasibility, cost, the effect on the economy, and the
quality of life in the community. In cases in which environmental
improvement is desirable, the students will develop and evaluate proposals
for achieving desired improvement. The environmental conditions studied
may involve natural resource use, waste disposal, or pollution (air, water,
land, visual or sound) issues. The course will take advantage of local
resources and organizations, such as the Water Watchers Association, the
new Reith Interpretive Center, the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center,
the Mobile Environmental Laboratory (sponsored by Merry Lea), Ox-Bow Park,
and the natural wetland areas of Goshen.
Current Teachers: Mrs. Weaver, Mr. Wilson
