Principais avaliações do ECOSYSTEMS OF CALIFORNIA
Really interesting and easy to apply to your natural surroundings if you live in California. I really enjoyed the videos, and learned a ton!
This shows California outdoors from top to bottom. Really good info on all the plants, animals and outdoor environments. Especially enjoyed week 3 on lakes and deserts
Amazing course! I learned so much, and had a lot of fun. Written questions were valuable, and extended my thinking. The final project was so much fun!
Final test was harder and more specific than expected. If the question has more than one answer, it really needs to say "Mark all that apply".
