VCE Environmental Science provides for continuing study pathways within the field and leads to a range of careers. Students investigate the extent to which humans modify their environments and the consequences of these changes in local and global contexts with a focus on pollution, biodiversity, energy use and climate change they explore the conceptual, behavioural, ethical and technological responses to these changes. Unit 2: How can pollution be managed? (2019) Students consider how the biotic and abiotic components of local ecosystems can be monitored and measured. They investigate the physical environment and its components, the function of local ecosystems and the interactions that occur in and between ecological components over different timescales. Students apply a systems perspective when exploring the physical requirements for life in terms of inputs and outputs, and consider the effects of natural and human induced changes in ecosystems.
In this unit students examine Earth as a set of four interacting systems: the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Unit 1: How are Earth’s systems connected? (2020) Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary science that explores the interactions and interconnectedness between humans and their environments and analyses the functions of both living and non living elements that sustain Earth systems.
