THMS Environmental Science (AP)
Welcome to the Tucson High School Web Site for classes taught by Jim Sinex. This site deals with the THMS Environmental Science (AP). This course load is designed around a large array of science education standards including the State of Arizona Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core Standards for Literacy and Mathematics and the College Boards Standards for Advanced Placement. Additionally, the questions and interests of the most important component of the classroom, the students who are here to learn about the world in which they are inheriting, will be given primacy.
Whether you are a student carbon-unit, a parent/guardian-type, or simply a web-based explorer, please feel free to browse this site at length or in short. It is designed to be useful to all and beneficial to the educational process of any who venture here. Hopefully it will prove to be both useful and fun.

Below, you will find a sketch of the course load taught within THMS Magnet Baseline Science 3-4.
Advanced Placement Environmental Science Section 1 The Inherited Planet: Early on and through most of our history we've described and understood life through what we perceive through our senses. What we see is often what we get. There's more, but we begin here. Section 2 Ecosystem Maintainance: Adding mathematics and technological innovation, a more complex and yet simple explanation for the existence of life and the parameters in which it exists is revealed. Section 3 Preparing for a Future:There is a story intimated beginning with the work of Charles Darwin the states that all life came from a common ancestor. To the best of our ability, we will look into this interesting idea. Section 4 Advanced Placement Testing Preparation: There is something that makes a Homo sapiens a Human. That "something" lead to our survival at a time when that survival was uncertain and allows us to thrive on this Arthropod dominated planet.
Science is a thing that makes us Human
Science is a problem-based philosophy that uses observation and method as means of solving problems in an organized and unprejudiced manner. As problems are a basic part of life, science is a basic life skill.
Critical Thinking is an intellectually disciplined form of analysis. Along with Mathematics, Logic, Strategy, Ethics and Artistic Composition, Science is an important form of critical thinking.
Remember: Simple Questions lead to Complex Answers Simple Answers often ignore Complex Realities
