In order to be ready for the course, some preparatory work needs to be done over the summer break. The purpose of the assignments is to refresh your memory, learn some necessary vocabulary and get you thinking about the world in which we live, thus helping to prepare you for your studies in environmental science for the upcoming year. If you have any questions, please send me an email, I check it periodically throughout the summer.  \nThe following is the list of assignments. Begin your APES notebook (physical or digital) with \\#  \n1. Numbers 2 and 3 should be submitted on or before the first day of school.  \n1. Vocabulary – For each chapter, you will receive a list of vocabulary words. Within this packet, you will find a vocabulary list of terms that you should have a working knowledge of prior to the course. I recommend looking up the definitions using a scientific dictionary or website. If you know the words, move on. Those you don’t know, write them down, and study! This will be graded as a homework assignment and there will be a vocabulary assessment during the first or second week of school.  \n2. HOME video and questions-Watch HOME video and answer the attached questions in your notebook in complete sentences or notes format. There will be a discussion and quiz during the first or second week of school. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU) (If this link does not work, search HOME on youtube, you’ll find another link. Please contact me if you have trouble viewing-no excuses for not watching. )  \n3. Read “The Tragedy of the Commons”, take notes/annotate in whatever style that works best for you. Create a chart listing: ( 1) as many “commons” as you can (from the article and any others that you can think of) , (2) the ways that each “common” is used, (3) the ways that each“common” is abused/overused/destroyed and (4) solutions to abuse of the “commons”. This will be a quiz grade.  \nEnjoy your introduction to AP Environmental Science, observe the world around you and have a great summer!  \nAP Environmental Science  \nHOME [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU)  \n1. Describe the conditions on early Earth.  \n2. What happened to the carbon that poisoned the atmosphere?  \n3. How did the agricultural revolution change the Earth?  \n4. How has Earth changed in the last 60 years since the use of oil has become more widespread?  \n5. What is most of the grain in the US used for?  \n6. What led to the dramatic decline in the biodiversity of agricultural crop species?  \n7. How many kilos of water does it take to produce 1 kilo of beef?  \n8. How have cars shaped the way housing is laid out in the US and other developed countries?  \n9. How much has the volume of international trade increased since 1950?  \n10. What are your thoughts on how the video portrays Dubai? Is it self-sustainable?  \n11. Rainforest are cut down to make farmland for which products/crops?  \n12. What makes the growth of Lagos different from how most other cities grow?  \n13. Where does the water from Greenland’s melting ice sheet go?  \n14. Why are the glaciers of mountains so important for the people in the lowlands?  \n15. What hope does this video offer at the end?  \nGive three specific examples that are portrayed in the video about each of the A","cbCaivi2CQLinSAn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivi2CQLinSAn","pdf",129488,"English","# Summer Preparation Overview\n## Required Assignments\n### Vocabulary\n### HOME Video & Questions\n### The Tragedy of the Commons Notes/Chart\n## HOME Video Questions\n## APES Concept Examples","[{\"question\":\"What should students do first when starting the summer assignments for APES?\",\"answer\":\"Begin an APES notebook (physical or digital) and start with “#”, as instructed.
