Why We Chose Ecology / Environmental Science for Grade 9

We chose Ecology and Environmental Science after defining our departmental goals in the broader context of existing national models and trends. As the foundation of a four-year sequence, it offered the best combination of biological, chemical, and mathematical content in a field-based research setting.

• Statement of Our Educational Goals
• How the Course Addresses Our Educational Goals
• Consideration of Continuing the Existing Sequence
• Consideration of Biology First
• Consideration of the "Physics First" Curriculum
