1 AP Environmental Science Syllabus Textbook Environmental Science for AP* 2 nd Edition, Andrew Friedland & Rick Relyea Course Prerequisites The AP Environmental Science class is open to students who have taken biology, chemistry, and either integrated math 3 or advanced algebra. Students should have a good comprehension and understand on collecting data in the field. Methods Daily instruction will consist of lecture, discussion, collaborative group work, written research papers, demonstration, guest speakers, in-class assignments, computer simulations, and homework. A large portion of the class will consist of lab work. All lab work will require a written component. A minimum of one class period or its equivalent per week is spent engaged in laboratory and/or field work. Brief Description of Course Class size is limited to a maximum of 30 students due to state law. The class periods are 51 minutes long, 5 days a week. My course is organized around chapters from the Friedland and Relyea textbook. Exams mimic the AP exam by having released multiple choice questions and released FRQs. Exams consist of 70% of their grade with the remaining 30% being lab. AP Environmental Science is equivalent to an introductory college course in environmental science. The goal of this course is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to analyze and identify environmental problems both natural and man-made, to evaluate the risks associated with problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. The following themes provide a foundation for the structure of the AP Environmental Science class: science is a process, energy conversions underlie all ecological processes, the Earth itself is one interconnected system, humans alter natural systems, environmental problems have a cultural and social context, and human survival depends on developing practices that will achieve sustainable systems. Course Timeline General overview organized by topics/chapters.
