sEnvironmental Science Basics: $RIVENBYINSTRUCTORFEEDBACKFORTHE

most important topics for students to understand about environmental

science, Environmental Science Basics provides a suite of animated

concepts and tutorials to give students a solid grounding in the key

basic environmental concepts. Concepts ranging from global climate

change to sustainable agriculture are presented across 21 modules in

easy-to-understand language.

s Practice Quizzes created by Brian Mooney, Johnson & Wales

University, are available on the student companion site as well as in

WileyPLUS. These quizzes include questions about each section of the

book and offer students immediate feedback so they can gauge their

own understanding of the chapter material.

sVirtual Field Trip Videos: Students go to nine different places around
the world on Virtual Field Trips and gain a better understanding of the
environment and our impact on it. Through these video-based field trips
students gain virtual on-the-ground experience using their WileyPLUS
course.

sGraphing Activities are new to this edition. They allow students to work through
the scientific process by collecting real data, graphing it, and then thinking critically
about what that data demonstrates. Students are able to see the data represented
on various graph types, and to compare different data sets against one another.
Each graphing activity module is linked to the appropriate chapter and includes
questions that allow instructors to test students’ understanding of the activities.
Graphing activity icons on the chapter openers indicate when there is a module that
corresponds with that chapter.
