This course surveys key topic areas including the application of scientific process to environmental analysis; ecology; energy flow; ecological structures; earth systems; and atmospheric, land, and water science. Topics also include the management of natural resources and analysis of private and governmental decisions involving the environment. Students explore actual case studies and conduct five hands-on, unit-long research activities, learning that political and private decisions about the environment and the use of resources require accurate application of scientific processes, including proper data collection and responsible conclusions.

In today's world, photographs are all around us, including in advertisements, on websites, and on the wall as art. Many of the images have been created by professionals photographers. In this course, students learn about the various aspects of professional photography, including the ethics of the profession, and examine some of the areas that professional photographers many choose to specialize in, such as wedding photography and product photography. Students also learn about some of the most respected professional photographers in history and how to critique photographs to better understand what creates an eye-catching photograph.

This course focuses on the basics of photography, including building an understanding of aperture, shutter speed, lighting, and composition. Students are introduced to the history of photography and basic camera functions. They use the basic techniques of composition and camera functions to build a portfolio of images, capturing people, landscapes, close-ups, and action photographs.

Students build on the skills and concepts they learned in Digital Arts I as they develop their vocabulary of digital design elements. By the end of the course, they will have created a collection of digital art projects for their digital design portfolio.
