Environmental Science at Home
Science and nature coexist together and give us our beautiful earth. Escape the chaos of everyday life my exploring the nature near your home.
Environmental science is defined as a branch of biology focused on the study of the relationships of the natural world and the relationships between organisms and their environments. By studying relationships in the natural setting, humanity can often learn more about itself, as much of who we are is reflected in the beautiful world around us.

Environmental Science Projects
When getting involved with new subjects, I believe one of the best ways to get interested in and understand it is to experiment with the subject hands-on. That is why I have added project resources on this page, and other pages on my website. Here are two of the best websites to get a whole array of environmental science projects that vary in difficulty. I hope you take advantage of this hands-on learning opportunity.
