Immerse yourself in the intricacies of our living world with our AP Environmental Science course. Delve into the dynamics of ecosystems, the interplay between populations and resources, and the continuous cycling of Earth's vital nutrients. Experience the delicate balance between terrestrial and aquatic biomes and discover the pressures that human activity puts on Earth’s equilibrium.
Understanding Earth's Complex Systems
In this course, traverse Earth's complex systems, learning about the different biomes and their diverse habitats. Understand the pivotal roles of the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water cycles in maintaining the balance of our ecosystems. Through virtual simulations, visualize these processes in action, providing a unique, immersive learning experience that goes beyond traditional classroom boundaries.
Ecosystem Dynamics and Energy Flow
Explore the vital concepts of trophic levels and illustrate the transfer of energy through food chains and webs. Grasp the importance of how energy is harnessed and distributed across different levels of the ecosystem, supporting diverse forms of life.
Biodiversity and Humans’ Environmental Impact
Tying all of this together, we develop a deep understanding how to sustain the rich diversity of life on Earth. Investigate human impacts on ecosystems, including eutrophication, thermal pollution, and understand the global challenges of climate change, its effects on biodiversity and the tools and data analytical skills needed to assess these changes over time.
Learning Objectives
- Evaluate the complexity of terrestrial and aquatic biomes
- Understand the significance and mechanisms of Earth's major cycles
- Analyze the flow of energy through ecosystems and the principles governing it
- Recognize and critically assess human impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity
