Environmental Science

This learning project introduces the interrelationship between humans and the environment. Topics include the scientific method, ecosystems, biodiversity, energy sources, natural resources, conservation, pollution, and population dynamics.[1]

This outline follows a typical introductory college-level environmental science course.
