Investigating Environmental Science through Inquiry - Print and E-Book

Product information "Investigating Environmental Science through Inquiry - Print and E-Book"

Investigating Environmental Science through Inquiry contains 34 inquiry-based, environmental science investigations. Each experiment includes a preliminary activity, teacher information, sample researchable questions, and sample data. The lab book uses data collection-technology to look at local issues and solutions. Labs are correlated to Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) standards.

Topics covered include:

  • Earth Systems and Resources/Air and Water
  • Earth Systems and Resources/Soil
  • The Living World
  • Global Change and Population
  • Energy Resources and Consumption
  • Pollution

The inquiry style used is based on recommendations from the National Research Council report, Learning and Understanding: Improving Advanced Study of Mathematics and Science in U.S. High Schools (2002) and leading inquiry-based learning experts.
