Environmental Science The Open University UK

Overview

This on-screen module in Environmental Science from The Open University UK spans biology, chemistry, earth science and physics, drawing them together in a holistic approach to studying the environment. 

You’ll investigate air, water, earth, life and cycles and explore the processes, interactions and feedback mechanisms operating within different environments. 

Practical experiences provided through multimedia interactive ‘virtual’ field trip activities and project work allow you to develop skills and apply your learning. 

By the end, you will be able to make critical analyses of environmental processes and structures, e.g. landforms, soils, water flows and habitats of flora and fauna, and comment on anthropogenic influences and their likely consequences.
