Environmental Science 11

Course Description

Environmental Science 11 is a course that will examine current issues affecting the local environment in which we live. The main focus will be on the local Garry Oak Ecosystem and the Bowker Creek Watershed.  The key topics that will be covered are:

  • Diversity in Local Ecosystems

  • Processes and Changes in Local Ecosystems

  • Sustainability in Local Ecosystems

  • Conservation and Restoration of Ecosystems

 

Expectations for Students

In order to have a class where each student can learn and complete daily tasks in a productive atmosphere, every student is expected to:

  • Arrive on time and be prepared

  • Work productively in class

  • Complete ALL assigned work

  • Contribute to a respectful classroom environment

​

Current Events

The main issues affecting our world will be discussed on a daily basis in class. Students should come to class with knowledge of what is occurring currently in the world around them in order to offer opinions, thoughts and questions to create dynamic class discussions. Students are also responsible for presenting their own current events once a term. A sign-up sheet will be provided at a later date.

​

Evaluation

Environmental Science 11 is either a required course for some, or an elective course which means that you are not required to take it. As a teacher, I presume you have enrolled in this course because you want to be here and are interested in learning about environmental issues. The entire evaluation of this course is based on the premise that you want to learn the material.  Marks are cumulative and are based on:

  • Questions, Current Events and Class Work Assignments (60%)

  • Major Projects (40%)

​

Information to Consider

I cannot stress enough the importance of completing all assignments on time and to the best of your ability. Stay current and up to date in order to have success. 

 

Any absence is to be made up during the following FOCUS BLOCK. You are still responsible for the lesson and assigned materials for classes that are missed.
