  • Critical Thinking
    • CLO 1: 1.0 Clearly communicate in writing the major concepts in the environmental sciences derived from course related readings.
    • CLO 2: 2.0 Describe and diagram the layers of the atmosphere, differentiate between climate and weather, identify major characteristics of a variety of weather systems, and understand how atmospheric conditions play a role in the environment, with focus on Florida.
    • CLO 3: 3.0 Diagram and describe the characteristics of water in freshwater and saltwater systems as it relates to the hydrologic cycle and the importance of water to life.
    • CLO 4: 4.0 Categorize and explain major geologic processes, the characteristics of minerals and rocks, and their economic importance as non-renewable resources.
    • CLO 5: 5.0 Describe the law of conservation of matter and the two laws of thermodynamics; compare renewable and nonrenewable energy and compare the environmental advantages and costs of each.
    • CLO 6: 6.0 Examine the interrelationship of living organisms within the physical environment of their specific environments as well as their interactions within their same species and the larger biological community.
