Environmental Science
Grades 4-8
$225 per semester
Class Length: Twelve 1-hour classes
Location/Days: Foothill Learning Academy - Tuesday (El Dorado Hills), Thursday (Placerville)
Students will learn how organisms interact with each other and their environment. Some of the topics to be explored through hands-on activities and models include biotic/abiotic factors, biomagnification, biomes, symbiosis, limits on population size, energy flow in an ecosystem, how biologists estimate populations, mining, the atmosphere, and the carbon cycle. Note: Climate change will not be discussed in this class.
