Environmental Science (Centripetal Softcover)
Combining mastery-learning and a unique textbook philosophy, this physical science course helps students break the “Cram-Pass-Forget cycle” so that they truly learn and retain course material.
Description
Environmental science is an important study for all upper-level students. The environmental challenges we face today from pollution, resource exploitation, and climate change require a new generation of people who care about the Earth. Helping students to know and love the natural world has never been more important than it is today. To nurture this love, Environmental Science is grounded in the wonder we experience when we encounter the natural world.
Environmental Science covers all the topics included in the AP Environmental Science syllabus and gives significant attention to historical milestones, the roles of governmental and nonprofit organizations, and the complexities of politics and policy. The text emphasizes what we know and what we can do, while exhorting students to have hope while working to care for the world in which they live.
