This is an advanced science course that combines the disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology and physics to investigate global environmental issues. We will discover how the Earth’s systems function together and how humans have affected our planet. We will also examine our personal consumption habits and learn ways to be responsible global citizens in the face of serious environmental issues.  \nBecause this is a college level course, you will be responsible for learning a large amount of material on your own. I will help you as we go, but it will be your responsibility to take notes, study and learn your vocabulary! We also work on the assumption that you have a general science background that includes biology, chemistry and algebra. The purpose of this assignment is to help you prepare for the APES content by getting organized, reviewing some background information, and getting familiar with some of the basic concepts of environmental science and your own consumption habits.  \nGeneral Guidelines:  \n􀁸 Read the directions for each section carefully!  \n􀁸 Each section should be clearly labeled.  \n􀁸 Each section of the project must be fully completed, neat and typed.  \n􀁸 All research/information needs to be appropriately cited using APA format. A quick google search will help you with formatting.  \n􀁸 All work is to be completed on your own. You may not work with other students to complete this assignment.  \nPart I: Electronic Setup (Due August 1st)  \nIn this course, we will be using technology extensively to help you learn basic content and communicate as scientists in the 21st century. Complete each of the following tasks to ensure that you are ready to begin on the first day of class!  \n1. Enroll onto the class Edmodo site. Group code:sjs74u. Under class organization, you will find the class syllabus. Download a copy of this document and read through carefully.  \n2. Write a letter introducing yourself. Please let me know the following information:  \n􀁸 Your name, address, phone number  \n􀁸 Any special hobbies or interests you have?  \n􀁸 What other science classes have you taken?  \n􀁸 Why you have chosen to take APES?  \n􀁸 What would you like to get out of this course?  \n􀁸 Any concerns you have for next year?  \nThis assignment should be turned submitted on Edmodo in the assignment folder labeled “Student Introductions.” This assignment is due by August 1st.  \n3. Once you are in the course, spend a little time going over the course description and material provided.  \nPart II. Chapter 1 (Due August 10th)  \n1. Read and outline chapter 1 in our textbook. Look at the Chapter Review section and try to incorporate the main parts of these questions. You do not have to write out these answers separate from your outline.  \nPart III. Current Events (Due August 12th)  \nIn environmental science, it is important to know about current issues in the new. One of my goals is to familiarize you with environmental issues that are important to our community, country and world. We will be reading and discussing a variety of current events throughout the school year as well. Over the course of the summer, find 3 recent articles related to environmental science.  \nAll articles should be current (during the past 2 years) and taken from a reliable source. The sources may be scientific publications, popular magazines, newspapers etc. Try the NY times (especially Tuesday), Washington Post, National Geographic, Discover Magazine, Natural History Magazine, [Treehugger.com](Treehugger.com), etc. I do not care if you use a newspaper, journal, etc. or an online copy of your article as long as it is property cited and printed out.  \nEach article should relate to a different topic chosen from the following list. As the year progresses you will be able to cover all of the topics!  \n\n| Environmental Law | Ecosystems | Climate | Evolution | Preserving our biodiversity |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Water pollution | Population growth","cbCaishOWoJ0XtX3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaishOWoJ0XtX3","pdf",421486,"English","# Part I: Electronic Setup\n## Student enrollment and introduction letter\n# Part II: Chapter 1\n## Chapter outline\n# Part III: Current Events\n## Article selection requirements\n## Article analysis components\n# Part IV: Chemistry Review\n## Chemical symbol to name\n## pH scale explanation","[{\"question\":\"What chemistry tasks are due in Part IV Chemistry Review?\",\"answer\":\"Students must write the chemical name corresponding to a list of chemical symbols, then type at least one paragraph explaining the pH scale, what it measures, and how pH numbers compare, including that the pH scale is not linear.
