It details estimated timeframes for APES math preparation and for researching environmental laws and treaties, with submissions scheduled on Canvas. It also encourages students to observe nature through guided questions due the first day of school. The math packet instruction stresses showing all work, including units at every step, checking calculations, and using dimensional analysis, decimals, averages, percentages, metric units, and scientific notation.","AP Environmental Science (APES) Summer Work  \nWelcome to APES! I am very happy that you have decided to take this course and embark upon what I hope you find an exciting and rewarding educational journey. This letter contains an outline and brief description of the summer work for APES that is required to be completed BEFORE the next school year begins. By performing these tasks, you will take a huge step towards preparing for the upcoming year. I want you to understand that I, like you, enjoy summer break! This is not intended to be “busy work.” By completing these tasks, you will perform research and source information that we will be using throughout the year. Because the AP exam will be held the beginning of May, class time is very precious. We will use most of April to review for the exam which leaves us about seven months, including breaks and holidays to prepare for the AP exam.  \nSummer Tasks With Estimated Timeframes  \nComplete the AP Environmental Science Math Prep Activity (about 5 hours total)  \nWhile there is not a lot of math in APES, it is important that you are comfortable solving some problems. You must be comfortable working out problems using pencil and paper. Most of our math will involve dimensional analysis-solving problems involving unit conversions. You should be comfortable working with percentages, operations with decimal numbers and using scientific notation. Most of the math in APES uses very large numbers, so you should be able to work problems using scientific notation. While not included in this assignment, you also need the ability to read, interpret and create graphs from data. The packet starts out with very simple arithmetic, moves on to scientific notation and percentages, and culminates in dimensional analysis. You need to show all your work and answer the questions in the boxes provided in the packet. This packet will be due on Canvas by the end of the first week of school. You will NOT hand it in on paper.  \nEnvironmental Laws and Treaties (about 8 hours total)  \nResearch and summarize the relevant environmental laws and treaties that are listed on the assignment sheet. Many times throughout the year, you will need to reference these environmental acts. Having a working familiarity with them will make the course go so much smoother. We will also be having a quiz on these acts, laws and treaties. If you complete the work during the summer, the quiz should be a breeze! This research will be due on Canvas by the end of the second week of school. You will NOT hand it in on paper.  \nBe Aware of and Enjoy Nature (as long as you would like!)  \nEnvironmental Science, while an academic discipline, is also an experience. My hope is that through this class, you will become more aware of your environment, the challenges we face asa society to preserve the environment, and maybe some potential solutions for environmental problems. Throughout the course we will take several field trips to experience nature and study an environmental problem. To kick start this process, I would like you to visit a natural area, go for a walk, sit in your backyard, go to a park or the beach or anywhere outside and make some  \nobservations. There are questions on the assignment sheet to guide you. These questions are due the first day of school, on Canvas. You will not turn them in on paper.  \nI will be available over the summer if you have questions. You can email me at [MichelleMason@thefirstacademy.org](MichelleMason@thefirstacademy.org) (I will check my email at least once a week) .  \nI want you to enjoy your summer, so I don’t expect you to spend a huge amount of time on any of these assignments. Total, it should take you less than 14 hours (which is about an hour a week) . By putting this time in, you will end up with good, quality work and you will be very well prepared to start the year on a positive note.  \nHave a safe and enjoyable summer and I look forward to a great year with you!
