Since this isan online course the laboratory and field-based activities will be done virtually and via experiments that students can easily perform at home with common materials. The course is intended to be the equivalent of a one-semester college ecology course, which is taught over an entire year in high school. The course encompasses human population dynamics, interrelationships in nature, energy flow, resources, environmental quality, human impact on environmental systems, and environmental law.  \n(PLEASE NOTE: Chemistry and Biology are prerequisites for this course) .  \nCourse Materials  \nTextbooks  \nAuthor: Daniel B. Botkin and Edward A. Keller  \nTitle: Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (7th ed. ) .  \nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons  \nYear: 2009  \nSupplemental Websites  \nURL: [http://apcentral.collegeboard.com](http://apcentral.collegeboard.com)  \nDescription: A compilation of resources, criticisms, suggestions, and texts that are helpful in teaching AP students.  \nCourse Goals  \nStudents should be able to demonstrate:  \n• Use of scientific method in the field of environmental science as the process to understand the interconnections of the Earth’s systems  \n• Recognize how natural systems change over time and space; also how human impact alters these natural systems  \n• Evaluate scientifically the risks of environmental problems; both natural and man-made  \n• Propose methods of preventing, reducing risk, managing, or solving environmental problems  \n• Experience laboratory activities to enhance scientific exploration of environmental science  \nPage 1 | AP Environmental Science Syllabus | © Edgenuity Inc.  \nCourse Outline-Semester 1  \nUnit 1- Introduction to Environmental Science and Scientific Method (approximately 2 weeks)  \nThe first unit of the course will acquaint students with the general principles of the scientific method and a general overview of environmental science; it introduces much of the important theory, philosophy, rhetoric, and terminology, which will be used throughout the course.  \nActivities:  \n• Min/Max Thermometer-Gizmo: An online simulation where students learn to read a min/max thermometer. (While observing a thermometer, the current, minimum, and maximum daily temperatures are determined in a quiz type setting. )  \n◊ Note: All gizmos are online lab simulations. A formal lab report and/or set of analysis questions as well as a quiz are required for each lab.  \n• Triple Beam Balance-Gizmo: In this online simulation students learn how to determine the mass of an object using a triple beam balance. The mass of a variety of objects can be determined using this simulated version of a common real-world laboratory tool for measurement.  \n• Interdependence of Plants and Animals-Gizmo (see note below) (1 hour): Discover how animals, plants, and sunlight interact to maintain a balance of gases in Earth’s atmosphere. Place aquatic plants and pond snails into sealed test tubes and incubate in a light or dark room. Measure concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide using the indicator bromthymol blue, and use this information to infer oxygen levels as well.  \n◊ Note: All gizmos are online lab simulations. A formal lab report and/or set of analysis questions as well as a quiz will be required for each lab.  \n• Tragedy of the Commons Activity (1 hour): A hands-on activity designed to simulate the tragedy of the commons.  \n• Dilution Lab (3 hours): A laboratory activity designed to familiarize students with the laboratory skills required to prepare a series of different concentrations of a solution. This skill will be used in later labs.  \n• Journ","cbCaiaBEMmwogLd5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaBEMmwogLd5","pdf",330902,15,"English","# Course Description\n## Course Materials\n## Course Goals\n# Course Outline - Semester 1\n## Unit 1 - Introduction to Environmental Science and Scientific Method","[{\"question\":\"How is the lab and field-based component of AP Environmental Science delivered?\",\"answer\":\"Activities are conducted virtually through experiments students can perform at home with common materials, using online lab simulations (gizmos) and related required lab reports or analysis questions.\"},{\"question\":\"What key topics does the course cover beyond basic environmental science?\",\"answer\":\"The course includes human population dynamics, interrelationships in nature, energy flow and resources, environmental quality, human impact on environmental systems, and environmental law.\"},{\"question\":\"What prerequisites are required before taking this course?\",\"answer\":\"Chemistry and Biology are prerequisites for AP Environmental Science.\"}]","AP Environmental Science - Syllabus - Course Outline | PDF",38]
