25x: Environmental Science - Part 2: WORKBOOK PLUS ANSWER KEYS & LECTURE NOTES (25x High & Middle School Science Series)

25 Complete Lessons on Sustainability, Climate, and Environmental Decision-Making

25x: Environmental Science – Part 2 is a classroom-ready workbook for high school environmental science courses (grades 10–12). Designed as a continuation of Part 1, this resource deepens student understanding of environmental challenges through applied science, data analysis, and real-world decision-making.

Students examine energy systems, pollution, climate change, conservation biology, sustainable systems, and environmental policy, building the skills needed to evaluate evidence, assess risk, and develop solutions to complex environmental problems. Lessons emphasize systems thinking and the role of science in guiding environmental decisions.

Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this workbook is ideal for advanced environmental science courses, upper-level electives, CTE pathways, and project-based learning environments.
