Lundgren E-mail: [dlundgren@amherst .k12.va. us](dlundgren@amherst .k12.va. us)  \nSchool Telephone: 946-2898 X 30104 Room: 104  \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION  \nWelcome to AP Environmental Science (APES) ! I look forward to meeting and working with each of you over the up-coming year. APES is an immense field of study. Not only is it a science in the traditional sense, it is complicated by opinions, governments, beliefs, economics, laws and ethics. Laboratory, field and internet-based research and investigations are emphasized to familiarize you with contemporary research, investigative and problem-solving techniques. If you want to succeed in APES, you’ll need to work hard and constantly embrace this interdisciplinary perspective.  \nSupplies: 1 composition notebook-for startups counts as lab grade  Access to internet, assignments will be posted in Google classroom. Alerts of new assignments will be sent to your phone through your google school email.  \n- 3 ring binder, pens and pencils, calculator  \nCLASS Rules and EXPECTATIONS:  \n1. This is a college level course! Therefore I expect college level work habits from my students. This means that you are expected to put in time at home to take notes over chapters, answer questions, make vocabulary cards, and study for this course. You should be spending 30 minutes to 1 hour per night of work in this class. See below for more details;  \n● Students will come to class prepared with assignments, labs, etc.. completed on the day that they are due.  \n● Students will consult the Google Classroom & Google Calendar online calendar regularly for work assignments as this is the “hub” of the class.  \n● Absences: Assignments are listed in Google Classroom and Calendar in advance and are  \ndue upon return to class. Therefore extra time to complete assignments should not be required.  \n● Students will read, write notes on each chapter assigned and will complete end of chapter questions for additional practice.  \n● Students will join the college board classroom and complete practice assessments for each unit.  \n● Students will also consult Power School weekly to check on their grades and any missing assignments.  \n● Students will consult Mrs. Lundgren when they are unsure of materials presented or have any questions. They can request to stay after school for additional help or contact Mrs. Lundgren bye-mail, [dlundgren@amherst.k12.va.us](dlundgren@amherst.k12.va.us).  \nThis course is equivalent to a college level course, and you are expected to act as an adult at all times, whether in class, in the lab, or outdoors.  \n2. Your main goal should be to pass the AP exam with a 3 or higher. This requires you do all required work and earn a B or better in the class. Outside practice and study will also be required to prepare for the test.  \nTHE EXAM  \nThe A. P. Environmental Science Exam created by the College Board will be administered May 3th 2022. This exam is three hours in length and consists of two parts: a multiple-choice section comprised of 80 questions worth 60% of the grade, and a free response section comprised of three free-response questions worth 40% of the grade. The free-response section emphasizes the application of principles in greater depth; students will demonstrate reasoning and analytical skills, as well as the ability to synthesize material from several sources into a coherent essay.  \nAP Environmental Exam Prep resources:  \n● Virginia Advanced Study Strategies (VASS) (multiple choice questions, part I of test for every unit)  \n● AP Environmental Science Flash Cards (sections can be borrowed from Mrs. Lundgren)  \n● AP Environmental Science Exam Prep Online  \n● Resources:[https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-environmental-science/exam-practice](https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-environmental-science/exam-practice)[ ](https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-environmental-science/exam-practice)[https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-environmental","cbCaisD4F0jmiWqX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisD4F0jmiWqX","pdf",124884,"English","# Course Description\n## Supplies and Resources\n# Class Rules and Expectations\n## Online Platforms and Attendance Policy\n# The Exam\n## Format and Exam Date\n# Grading\n## Weighting and Late Work Policy","[{\"question\":\"What is the course description and learning focus for APES?\",\"answer\":\"APES is presented as a college-level, interdisciplinary science course shaped by opinions, governments, beliefs, economics, laws, and ethics.
