Laboratory and field study are envisioned to be an important element of the course.  \nOutline of Topics  \nI. Scientific Analysis (5%)  \nA.

Sustainability  \nHeydrick – APES Guide PAGE 1 of 32  \nAP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CURRICULUM  \nPflugerville Independent School District • August 2003  \nLaboratory and Field Investigations  \nThe goal of the laboratory and field investigation component of the AP Environmental Science course is to complement the classroom portion by allowing students to learn about the environment through firsthand observation. Experiences both in the laboratory and in the field provide students with important opportunities to test concepts and principles that are introduced in the classroom, explore specific problems with a depth not easily achieved otherwise, and gain an awareness of the importance of confounding variables that exist in the \"real world.”  \nStudent Objectives  \nAll teaching and learning activities are correlated with the objectives. The objectives for each unit of study are found at the end of this curriculum document, beginning on page 14.  \nGrading  \nStudent’s six-week grades will be determined by the following percentages: quizzes— 15%; labs—25%; tests—60% . Each final exam will count for 25% of the semester grade.  \nTextbook  \nMiller, G.
