Course Description:

This is a challenging and exciting course that covers many scientific topics that are usually not introduced until university. The course is broken down into three sections: Section 1 - Foundations, Section 2 - Case Studies, and Section 3 - Scientific Methods.

Section 1 focuses on an introduction to integrated science & technology (ISAT) with an emphasis on big picture ideas. Section 2 focuses on case studies of environmental issues that make use of ISAT to come up with solutions. Section 3 focuses on the methodology and specific technologies used in the field of ISAT.

This course is taught by an experienced classroom and field studies teacher with a master's degree in Integrated Science and Technology and a second master of science degree in sustainable environmental resources management. Drawing on academic knowledge and field experience, these lessons offer a deep yet accessible probe into the growing field of integrated science & technology.

Course Goals:

With knowledge and clarity delivered from teaching and conducting integrated science methods, this course will not only improve student literacy in key scientific areas, it will help foster a broader understanding of environmental issues in the real world. The successful student will be able to understand key concepts that are more advanced than traditional high school science subjects. Upon completion of this course students will be able to understand the dynamic problems and possible solutions associated with energy usage, agricultural practices, pollution causes & mitigation, environmental conservation practices, and environmental policies. Students will come away with a better understanding of how science impacts daily life and the importance of proper measurement, data collection, configuration, and analysis.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for 12th grade students with at least moderate scientific literacy skills. This course may also be beneficial for any sufficiently interested 11th grade students that have a good understanding of applied science concepts.

Course Requirements:

The student will complete 25 full lessons, each with two components consisting of a regular lesson and a review lesson, except for Section Review lessons which will not contain a second video as they are a review in themselves. Successful completion of a quiz after each lesson is needed in order to move on to the next course. There are also a number of "Thought Experiment" assignments in which the student is required to use critical and creative thinking skills to explore possible answers to each question that is posed. There are no objectively correct answers for these assignments as they take into consideration the student's own views and thoughts, but possible answers and guidance is provided in each review lesson. Quizzes will also be reviewed in the second component of each lesson.

Course Includes:

Over 8 hours of video lessons and review video lessons!
25 lessons
25 Quizzes
Over 50 diagram sheets, infographics, crosswords, PDF documents, and thought experiment assignments
Additional parent resources: course outline, suggested further readings, PDF readings, and answer keys for each quiz and crossword puzzle

Science and geography educator, conservation scientist, adventurer - these are the things that I focus my time and energy on. I have spent several years living in the rainforests and coasts of Central and South America, educating students with hands-on, experiential methods. On top of teaching, I was in tropical forests and coral reefs doing field work, collecting data, monitoring, and working with conservation initiatives. I have taught students from 9th grade all the way up to seniors in university. My experience living, working, and studying in 6 countries helps to give a unique perspective on the science and geography lessons I teach, and students can benefit from first hand knowledge which is sometimes lacking in traditional classrooms. Educating is my passion and I believe it is imperative for youth to have the scientific literacy that is necessary to go forward in life. It is my mission to help get them there.

Overview and description of all lessons offered in the course.

Thought Experiment Guidelines

In several lessons of the Integrated Science and Technology course there are short thought experiments which require notihng more than thinking. These experiments are assignments and are mandatory to complete, but there is no grades or points given for completion. Instead, the goal of these assignments is to expose students to creative and critical thinking as they freely go over possibilities in their mind on how they would approach the issues covered.

Answer Key for Crossword Puzzle

Lesson 18 (Scientific Measurement Devices) covers several different types of scientific measurement devices and tools. A crossword puzzle was assigned to match the devices with the corresponding units of measurement. The answer key is contained here in this section.
