A self-paced online course covering basic ecology principles and how humans affect ecosystems. Through reading and activities, learners examine what ecology is, how to study ecosystems, and specific examples (from rock pools to rainforests) to understand human impacts on environmental health. Skills: scientific literacy, building a glossary of terms, and note-taking. Applications: strengthens foundational knowledge for environmental science, preparing students for advanced study or projects on conservation, biodiversity, and ecosystem management.
