| Course: Environmental Systems Design
Environmental Systems Designs offers students engaging project based experiences in science and environmental education. The course is a strong alternative for students not wishing to take chemistry or physics. The first part of the course looks at the earth’s environmental systems though an astrobiological view by asking students to analyze the earth’s dynamics as an extraterritorial visitor. The second part engages students in a series of project based investigations on energy generation, water management, and land use. The class will emphasize group collaboration and incorporate environmental stewardship and advocacy. |

Science Standards
|
| 9-11ES3D | Data gathered from a variety of methods have shown that Earth has gone through a number of periods when Earth was much warmer and much colder than today. |
| 9-11LS3A | Biological evolution is due to: (1) genitive variability of offspring due to mutations and genetic recombination, (2) the potential for a species to increase its numbers, (3) a finite supply of resources, and (4) selection by the environment for those offspring better able to survive and produce offspring. |
| 9-11LS3C | The great diversity of organisms is the result of more than 3.5 billion years of evolution that has filled available ecosystem niches on Earth with life forms. |
| 9-11LS1A | Carbon containing compounds are the building blocks of life. Photosynthesis is the process that plant cells use to combine the energy of sunlight with molecules of carbon dioxide and water to produce energy-rich compounds that contain carbon (food) and release oxygen. |
| 9-11 INQB | Scientific progress requires the use of various methods appropriate for answering different kinds of research questions, a thoughtful plan for gathering data needed to answer the question, and care in collecting, analyzing, and displaying the data. |
| 9-11ES3A | Interactions among the solid Earth, the oceans, the atmosphere, and organisms have resulted in the ongoing evolution of the Earth system. We can observe changes such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on a human time scale, but many processes such as mountain building and plate movements take place over hundreds of millions of years. |
| 9-11ES3B | Geologic time can be estimated by several methods (e.g. counting tree rings, observing rock sequences, using fossils to correlate sequences at various locations, and using the known decay rates of radioactive isotopes present in rock to measure the time since the rock was formed). |

|
| 9-10PS1A | Velocity is defined as a change in position with respect to time. Velocity indicates both speed and direction. |
| 9-10PS2H | Solutions are mixtures in which particles of one substance are evenly distributed through another substance. Liquids are limited in the amount of dissolved solid or gas that they can contain. Aqueous solutions can be described by relative quantities of the dissolved substances and acidity or alkalinity (pH). |
| 9-10PS2J | The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines the isotope of the element. Many isotopes are very stable. Radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit particles and/or radiation. Though the timing of a single nuclear decay is unpredictable, a large group of nuclei decay at a predictable rate, making it possible to estimate the age of materials that contain radioactive isotopes. |
| 9-10PS1K | Electricity and magnetism are two aspects of a single electromagnetic force. Moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce electric forces. |
| 9-10PS1I | Electrical force exists between charged objects. Opposite charges attract while like charges repel. |
| 9-10PS1B | Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity with respect to time. Acceleration indicates a change in speed and/or a change in direction. |
| 9-10PS3B | Gravitational potential energy is associated with the separation of mutually attracting masses. Transformations can occur between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, but the total amount of energy remains constant. |
| 9-10PS3A | Although energy can be transferred from one object to another can be transformed from one form of energy to another form, the total energy of the universe is constant and can neither be created nor destroyed. (Conservation of Energy)
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The kinetic energy of an object is defined by the equation: Ek = ½ mv2 |

| 9-11LS1A | Carbon containing compounds are the building blocks of life. Photosynthesis is the process that plant cells use to combine the energy of sunlight with molecules of carbon dioxide and water to produce energy-rich compounds that contain carbon (food) and release oxygen. |
| 9-11ES2B | Climate is determined by energy transfer from the sun at and near Earth’s surface. This energy transfer is influenced by dynamic processes such as cloud cover and Earth’s rotation, as well as static conditions such as proximity to mountain ranges and the ocean. Human actives, such as burning fossil fuels, also affect the global climate. |
| 9-11PS2K | Nuclear reactions convert matter into energy, releasing large amounts of energy. Fission is the splitting of a large nucleus into smaller pieces. Fusion is the joining of nuclei and is the process that releases energy from the Sun and other stars. |
| 9-11PS2E | Compounds are composed of two or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion by sharing electrons between atoms, forming covalent bonds. Such compounds consist of well-defined molecules; Chemical formulas of covalent compounds represent the types and number of atoms of each element in each molecule. |
| 9-11APPD | Perfect solutions do not exist. All technological solutions involve trade-offs in which criteria for a desirable solution, such as appearance, efficiency, and safety, are balanced against realistic constraints such as cost, availability of materials, and deadlines. |
| 9-11SYSC | In complex systems, entirely new and unpredictable properties may emerge. Consequently, modeling a complex system in sufficient detail to make reliable predictions may not be possible. |
