Sustainable Resources 11

This course is new to CHSS this semester! It is a science course that prepare students for further education, for their careers, and for issues they will face in their adult lives.  The Sustainable Resources 11 curriculum engages students in the investigation of scientific questions related to resources found in British Columbia and the development of plausible solutions.

Our students in partnership with other local professionals have been studying the concept of “Sustainability”. Sustainability is examined in a variety of topical areas including; forestry, fisheries, agriculture, mining, energy, and career opportunities.

It is important for students to recognize the environmental impacts of extracting and processing these resources and the steps being taken to protect the environment.
