Course Description
The Biology and Ecology of Aquatic Systems (formally known as Brandywine FLOWS) is a year long course designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of aquatic systems. The focus is mainly on the local Brandywine watershed, however, the goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the local biology, ecology and physical components of watersheds as it relates to global systems and situations. The course is designed with a fieldwork component; a series of field trips that support the goals of the course. Some trips are all day while others are completed during the double lab period. These field trips are mandatory and if you cannot participate you may want to take another elective science course. Some of the trips cost money and they are our responsibility.
