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.
