You will explore how local and global water and soil health, air quality, waste management and habitat protection impact your community and the world. You will build an understanding of sustainable practices and environmental stewardship, with a focus on practical, accessible approaches through scientific and Indigenous perspectives.
This course examines the goals, methods and careers of environmental science.
You will study aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, biodiversity, air quality, pollution, population growth, and climate change. You will analyze environmental challenges and explore technologies and strategies for solutions. The course culminates in a self-directed project, fostering scientific inquiry, critical thinking and environmental stewardship.
You have the option to enroll in the Environmental Science 21 synchronous live class course OR the online asynchronous course.
Synchronous Live Class: you attend a live online class taught by your teacher at a specific time, every school day. If you're interested in enrolling in the Environmental Science 21 synchronous course, please review the synchronous live class details and schedule.
Online Asynchronous: you work through your online course on a flexible learning schedule, with online support from your teacher.
Modified courses are specialized courses that require signed parent consent before registering a student up to the age of 18, due to the potential impact to post-secondary options. Students over the age of 18 may sign consent for themselves.
To register in a modified course, full-time Sask DLC students can contact their Academic Advisor and part-time student's schools may contact their local Sask DLC Campus Principal.
