Course Description
The focus of this course is student-driven, inquiry-based learning where students "learn science the way science is practiced." Students will use site assessment methodologies and state of the art technologies from analytical chemistry, molecular biology, biogeochemistry, and mapping to solve environmental cases of "Who done it?" with regards to soil/sediment, water, and air contamination. Field trips which may extend beyond class time are required.
