| | This full-year science elective builds on concepts introduced in Conservation Science I, using the theme of materials and the environment as its jumping-off point. Students in this course will examine toxic and non-toxic waste issues associated with electronics manufacturing, including the handling and disposal of electronic waste, environmental impacts and health risks, as well as food safety, solar energy and conservation of matter. Students will explore the city’s Miramar landfill and participate in an ongoing solar project being conducted by Groundwork San Diego at its Chollas Creek outdoor learning lab. |
