A Carolina Exclusive! The underlying theme of the environmental science series is “sustainability in a global environment.” Our knowledge of the complex relationships that organisms have with their environment continues to expand and evolve. Today, more than ever, we understand that the way we interact with our local environment affects the greater global environment. Finding ways to grow and survive while maintaining the planet’s delicate balance is a challenge that we all face. The better we understand the consequences of our actions, the better equipped we are to make decisions that support sustainable environmental practices.

This package of all 20 Inquiries in Science® environmental science kits provides lab activities that help students understand an essential science topic in the area of natural resources, ecology and ecosystems, or human influence on the environment. Every kit provides lab supplies (enough for at least 30 students working in groups) plus teacher’s manual.
