Active Learning Approach. Instructors find it challenging to show students how their everyday actions impact the environment and world around them. Cunningham bridges the gap between theory and real-life with "What Can You Do?" sections, end-of-chapter video questions, and Application-Based Activities, so students can practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they apply what they are learning to real-world situations. Each activity focuses on an element of Environmental Science, reinforcing key concepts while allowing students to see the implications of their decisions and how it affects the environment around them.
Critical Thinking with Scientific Data. In Environmental Science, students have difficulty with interpreting scientific data and drawing conclusions. With Graphing Interactives Questions, Data Analysis Exercises, and Quantitative Reasoning Questions, students are exposed to up-to-date data sets, including statistics, graphing, and graph interpretation, to teach them how to make predictions and draw conclusions.
Integrated, Global Perspectives. For students to remain competitive in a global economy, it's critical that they understand conditions in other countries and cultures. This resource provides case studies and topics from regions around the world, with maps and data illustrating global issues.
