Overview: Honors Earth & Environmental Science is a rigorous course designed to allow highly motivated students to conduct an in-depth study of the Earth and Environmental Sciences. In Honors Earth & Environmental Science students are expected to work independently on a variety of assignments and accept greater responsibility for their learning. In order to help develop a better understanding of the processes that shape our everyday lives, the course will integrate inquiry investigations and a variety of technologies with the study of earth as a system. The impacts of human activities on a local, national, and global scale in regards to earth’s systems will also be a focus. The results of student investigations should be communicated through presentations, projects, and other classroom assignments. Enrichment and integration with other disciplines is encouraged.
