Abstract/Summary:
To provide upper level students with an additional science elective, an environmental science course was developed. The purpose of this course was to utilize laboratory experiences to develop ecological knowledge and further environmental awareness. Through hands-on activities, students gained not only scientific knowledge, but also insight to the methods and nature of science itself. While focusing on the ecology of air, soil and water, students also became aware of the impacts humans have on these systems.
