This UbD assignment has made me really rethink the way that we have taught AP Environmental Science in the past. Most of the time, we are so crunched for time that we just do notes, labs, and tests. This gets the point across because many of them are honors students, however, it is not challenging them or benefiting them in the long term. This UbD assignment enabled me to look at one facet that we teach and come up with not only the big ideas, but has enabled me to enhance the curriculum planning (Tomlinson & McTighe, 2006, p. 32) by looking at the unit through the essential questions while linking that with their assessment. By using the backward design to plan a lesson I was able to “provide the conceptual pillars that anchor” the class (Tomlinson & McTighe, 2006, p. 32).

During the freshman student orientation days at the start of each semester, the school should have a lecture on how students can properly protect the environment and participate in sustaining the nature around them.

Chapter one is the introduction to environmental science. We learn about how we can studying this science, biodiversity, ecosystem, and the rate of change in the environment and how that affects us. Environmental Science is defined as the study of the interactions among human-dominated systems and how those interactions affect the environment. Environmental Science is a relatively new science that is just as or more important than the other sciences. If we didn't have Enviromental Science we wouldn't have a science to back up our understanding of what harm we, human beings, and doing to our environment.

Before taking this class, I had a really good understanding on the environment, however I never really thought about it philosophically. Combining philosophical ethics and the environment was not something I thought was practical. This class has proven me wrong. In fact, philosophical ethics go hand in hand when dealing with the environment. When it comes to thinking about the environment philosophically and ethically, three main points really stand out to me.

If you had an opportunity to prolong or even save your life, would you take it? For some, this might sound quite ludicrous as though a vivid scene from a fantasy. Whereas, it is just one possible example of how genetic engineering affects human development. Whether it is practiced to lengthen the lifespan of a living organism or make considerable improvements in agriculture, medicine or other fields, there are still lots of debates regarding its application in the real world landscape. Even so, prohibiting the successive evolution of genetic engineering is not a solution, and I do not agree that its further development should be banned.
