Why Do I Have to Do Work Over the Summer?  \nAP Environmental Science (APES) is designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in Environmental Science. The course is interdisciplinary, encompassing topics in chemistry, physics, geology, biology, environmental studies, and geography. It also incorporates a sociological, political, and global perspective. APES is designed to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships ofthe 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 and/or preventing them.  \nThis assignment serves to help you prepare for the year ahead. To be a successful APES student, you must be willing to spend significant time outside of class preparing and completing work. Remember that this course is modeled after a college course, so both the fast pace and sheer depth of information may be new to you. This course requires dedication, commitment, and total immersion into the field of environmental science. Because this is an AP course, we will also be preparing throughout the year to be successful on the AP exam in May.  \nYour Tasks This Summer  \n1. Course Overview (14 points). Due the first day of school. Homework category  \n2. Environmental Science in the World Slideshow (40 points) . Start Immediately! Due the first day of school. Lab category.  \n3. Unit 1 Lecture Videos and Notes (20 points). Due the first day of school. Homework category  \n4. Unit 1 Reinforcement Tasks (30 points). Due the first day of school. Homework category  \n*Even if you sign up for this class the first day of school you are still responsible for all this work.  \nPart 1: Course Overview  \nAP Environmental Science has 9 Units. Each unit is divided into several subunits. There are 99 subunits in total. You can view them all in the screenshots below at this link.  \n[https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-environmental-science-course-at-a-glance.pdf](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-environmental-science-course-at-a-glance.pdf)  \nUnit Guide Questions:  \n1. Which unit has the most subunits?    \n2. Which subunit covers nuclear power?    \n3. Which subunit covers endocrine disruptors?   \n4. Which unit are you most excited to learn about? Why?  \n5. Which unit are you least excited to learn about? Why?  \nThis is the 200+ page Course and Exam Description (CED): [https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap](https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap)environmental-science-course-and-exam-description.pdf  \nYou do not need to read all of this. Please read pages 221-227 where it gives information about the AP exam.  \nCED Questions:  \n1. How many multiple choice questions are on the exam?   \n2. How many minutes do you have to answer the multiple choice questions?   \n3. How many FRQs are on the exam?   \n4. How many minutes do you have to complete the FRQs?    \n5. Which section has more weight toward your exam score, the MCQ or the FRQ?    \n6. How many points is each FRQ?    \n7. Which unit is covered most heavily on the AP test?    \n8. Compare and contrast the FRQ types. How are they different from one another?  \n9. What are the seven task verbs used in the FRQ questions?  \nPart 2: Environmental Science in the World Slideshow  \nPurpose  \nI want you to develop the skill of noticing the world around you. Notice the trees, the weather, the sounds of the bugs (cicada season!?), and so much more. In this class, we also will develop the skill of noticing how humans interact with the world, often resulting in significant consequences. Think about where water goes when it rains.
