Beskrivelse af de enkelte undervisningsforløb (1 skema for hvert forløb)
Titel 1 Foundations of ESS

Foundations of ESS is an overview of basic scientific terms related to ESS starting with the environmental value systems, Systems and models, Energy and equilibria, Sustainability and finally Humans and pollution. The foundations of ESS is therefore an introduction to ESS and the topics that will be covered through the course.

Practicals:
-Investigation of significant historical influences that has affected the environmental movement
-Evaluation of the implications of Ecocentrism and Technocentrism on a self-chosen environmental issue
-Human body temperature as an example of a system
