Taking this course will provide insight into the intersections between physical sciences and societal issues. It is a great way to learn about the various systems that affect our lives as well as cultivate a better understanding of how scientific discoveries can help create solutions to global problems.

Topics covered in this course include climate change, energy use and production, natural resource management, sustainability, pollution control, food production and distribution, water management, health concerns associated with environmental changes and more.

Through this course you will develop problem-solving skills by tackling real-world issues relating to physical science. You will also learn about research methods for identifying potential solutions to global problems and develop an understanding of how data analysis can determine appropriate strategies for dealing with them.

The course is organized into four units that introduce different topics related to physical science explored within their cultural contexts. Each unit begins with an introduction presentation followed by lectures on each topic including readings from source materials such as articles or books related to the topic under discussion. There will be time allocated for group activities as well as opportunities for field work in order to gain further understanding of the material being discussed in class. Finally each unit ends with tests that assess student's learning outcomes from that particular unit.

Not necessarily! For field trips you may need basic outdoor clothing such as hats sunscreen or comfortable shoes depending on location but none of these items are required for daily attendance or participation.

During each unit there are different assessments used such as quizzes or written assignments meant to measure how well students have understood the material presented in class as well as any practical application derived from it. At the end of each unit there may also be exams which evaluate students' knowledge on all topics discussed within that particular unit
