=**Welcome to Environmental Science**=

Purpose of Course:

The goal Environmental Science is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify, analyze, and evaluate environmental problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. Environmental Science is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study, yet there are several major unifying themes that cut across the many topics included in the study of environmental science. Biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and agronomy and how they relate to society, politics, and economics will be a focus of the class.

**Personal Statement:**
I have been an educator for the last fourteen years. I love teaching and excited to share science concepts with students. I have taught a variety of science courses over the years and have also served as a school instructional coach / administrator. My goal is to teach in a manner that makes science meaningful to students. I will prepare students for future science courses and help make them more scientifically literate in society. I expect students to come to class ready to learn everyday and give me their full attention while in class. I look forward to this semester.
