1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE Providence Career and Technical Academy Teacher: Elizabeth Butrick Course Description: The advanced placement environmental science course is a full-year course with the time equivalent of one-semester. Environmental Science course will include information from a wide variety of departments, including geology, biology, environmental studies, chemistry, and geography. The course is designed to provide students with a rigorous science course that includes a strong focus on scientific principles, analysis, and laboratory work. [SC11] Course goal: The goal of this course is to provide students with scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternate solutions for resolving and/or preventing them.

7 Course Size and Scheduling: The class size will be about 22 students. The class periods are 74 minutes long four days a week and 47 minutes for the last day of the week. A lab period is schedule during one of the 74 minute blocks each week. [SC17] Each semester consists of 90 days, but students will be in class (seat-time) for only half of these days due to the school s week-about schedule. Field work/ Field Trips: We will be doing activities outside on school grounds or on field trips. Please wear appropriate clothes for outside activities. Guest Speakers: We have a wealth of knowledge in our community. Bringing in experts and first hand experience is an important part of learning. Whenever possible, we will have guest speakers to share their expertise. Attendance: A significant portion of the information in this class is learned through doing labs and class activities. Be in class every day. If you know you are going to be absent on a given day, please let me know in advance. If possible, even if you must miss class, complete the classwork and homework on time so that you can benefit fully from the class activities when you return. Since this is a college level class, you will be expected to make up work missed without my having to remind you. Tardies: Class will start on time. If you come in late, please be considerate and enter the room quietly with minimal disruption of other students. If tardies occur repeatedly, we will need to find a way to solve the problem. Make-up Work: All work missed must be made up and you must make arrangements to complete make-up work. Labs and work can be made up before or after school. Grading: Grades are based on demonstration of mastery of the environmental science standards and course content. The percentages for each letter grade are as follows: % = A; 80-89% = B; 70-79% = C; 60-69% = D; 59-50% =E and below 50% = F. 1. Exams: 35% 2. Laboratory and field work reports/write-ups: 20% 3. Final exam/project : 15% 4. Quizzes/APES Reports/ Projects/Graded Discussions 15% 5. In class activities/ Debates/Oral reports 10% 6. Practice and Preparation : 5% Participation : Ask questions, take part in every aspect of the course, listen, be attentive, make relevant comments, show initiative and interest, work well with all students in the class, show good lab technique, help others, be polite -- all of these are indicative of preparedness and desire to learn, improve and excel. Homework: Since this is a college level course, much of the work will need to be done outside of class. This course requires a substantial amount of reading and writing. Quality of Work: All work must be neat, legible and of high quality.
