The interdisciplinary course includes substantial math and writing, requires at least one year of algebra, and builds skills in acquiring information independently followed by analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Students practice for a May exam with multiple-choice and free-response components.","AP Environmental Science  \nBasic Information:  \n• The AP Environmental Science course is designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in environmental science. The goal of the AP Environmental Science course is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them.  \n• Environmental science is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study. It includes a good amount of math and writing.  \n• Due to the quantitative analysis that is required in the course, students should also have taken at least one year of algebra. Calculators are not allowed in class or on the exam.  \n• Students are expected to be able to acquire basic information on their own and then work toward analysis, synthesis and evaluation of that material.  \n• Covers a broad and fast paced curriculum centered on the environment.  \nThe Exam:  \n• The AP Environmental Science Exam is given in May. Students enrolled in the class are required to take the exam at no cost to the family. If a student does not attend the testing day, there will be a fee charged.  \n• The AP Environmental Science Exam is 3 hours long and is divided equally in time between a multiple-choice section and a free-response section. The multiple-choice section, which constitutes 60 percent of the final grade, consists of 80 multiple-choice questions that are designed to cover the breadth of the students’ knowledge and understanding of environmental science. Thought-provoking problems and questions based on fundamental ideas from environmental science are included along with questions based on the recall of basic facts and major concepts.  \n• The free-response section emphasizes the application of principles in greater depth. In this section, students must organize answers to broad questions, thereby demonstrating reasoning and analytical skills, as well as the ability to synthesize material from several sources into cogent and coherent essays. Three free-response questions are included in this section, which constitutes 40 percent of the final score: 1 experimental design question, 1 analysis of an environmental problem proposing a solution using models & examples and 1 analysis question using calculations.  \n• Scores of 3 or better can equate to college credit. Students will get their scores in July.  \n• Student will practice these types of questions throughout the year.  \n• There will be a cumulative teacher made final exam at the end of the year.  \nTopics:  \n\n| Global Climate Change & Ozone Depletion | Matter & Flow of Energy in Ecosystems | Air Pollution | Water Pollution |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Evolution & Biodiversity | Sustainability of\u003Cbr>Resources | Population Dynamics | Risk, Toxicology & Human Health |\n| Food Production & Consumption | Energy Resources | Geology & Soil | Urban Land Use |\n\nResources:  \n• College Board website.  \n• Various workbooks & Study Guides. My preferred choice is the Barron’s version.  \n• My Canvas course site which will have all the PowerPoints, handouts and resources we use in class available to students at any time.  \nThe Schedule:  \n• This AP course is a yearlong course that meets every day for 90 minutes. This is because the class includes a laboratory section.  \n• Students who successfully complete the course will receive 2 credits toward graduation: 1 for the lecture & 1 for the lab.  \n• Students are required to complete up to 25 lab exercises and reports in the course. The lab grade will be reported as Pass/Fail.  \nThe Decision:  \n• Things to consider when contemplating AP Environmental:  \no How many other things does my child participate in (sports, arts, work, etc)??  \no Will my child","cbCaivhrAK3hMrEW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivhrAK3hMrEW","pdf",190573,"English","en",105,"# Basic Information\n# The Exam\n# Topics\n# Resources\n# The Schedule\n# The Decision","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the AP Environmental Science course?\",\"answer\":\"The course equips students with scientific principles and methodologies to understand interrelationships in the natural world, analyze environmental issues, evaluate risks, and examine solutions to resolve or prevent problems.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key requirements for students enrolled in the course?\",\"answer\":\"Students should have at least one year of algebra, calculators are not allowed in class or on the exam, and they are expected to gather basic information independently before working toward analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the AP Environmental Science exam structured and scored?\",\"answer\":\"The exam is 3 hours in May, split evenly between multiple-choice (60%, 80 questions) and free-response (40%, 3 questions).
