Welcome to Environmental Science Class! Throughout the year we will be learning about how the world around us functions and what the scientific reasons are behind it, the affects we as people have on the earth, and creatively design solutions to the problems the Earth is facing.
This website will serve as the primary resources for Oldham County High School students enrolled in Mrs. Nethery's 2018-2019 Environmental Science Class. Take a look around! Any resources not found here on the Weebly will be in your Google Classroom. Always make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen for any relevant information.

Homework
Every day students are expected to complete any UNFISHINED daily work as homework. Students should also review over new and old information daily.
Interactive Science Binder
Throughout the course of this class students will be using an interactive binder. An interactive science binder is a tool I use that allows students to demonstrate their understanding, practice critical thinking, all while improving on their writing and organization skills. Each student will be expected to participate and keep up with their interactive binder. There will many examples and well as frequent binder checks to make sure that the student stays on track.
Binder Organization (example)
-Current Food for Thought
-Syllabus
-Safety Rules
-Unit 1: Intro to Environmental Science
