About your course materials

Environmental Science: Sustaining Your World was created specifically for your high school environmental science course. With a central theme of sustainability included throughout, authors G. Tyler Miller and Scott Spoolman have focused content and included student activities on the core environmental issues of today while incorporating current research on solutions-based outcomes. National Geographic images and graphics support the text, while National Geographic Explorers and scientists who are working in the field to solve environmental issues of all kinds tell their stories of how real science and engineering practices are used to solve real-world environmental problems. Ensure that your students learn critical thinking skills to evaluate all sides of environmental issues while gaining knowledge of the Core Ideas from the NGSS and applying that knowledge to real science and engineering practices and activities.
