Welcome back from Spring Break.   This is our last unit of the year - it's time work especially hard now, in order to create the success you want to achieve on the APES exam.

Increases in the Greenhouse Gases.   Don't forget to study for your lab quiz today.  We will briefly discuss Topic 9.4 and then you will complete an FRQ on ozone loss.

Global Climate Change.   This is a very important topic in Unit 9 - make sure you know the content well enough to explain it to another - in detail.

Unit 9 Self-Study.   I will be attending an NHS Scholarship Gala for the rest of the week in Washington, D.C. with Maher Harp and his family.  Please use the time allocated to truly master the content I am leaving with you.  The AP College Board exam is not that far away!  Follow the instructions in Google Classroom.

Ocean Acidification.  Hopefully you did what I asked of you over the weekend.  We will discuss ocean acidification and as an extra treat, you will write an FRQ today.

State Testing.   Do your best on testing this week, doing well on these tests will open doors for your future!

Invasive Species.   What happens when invasive or non-native species arrive in many ecosystems?  We will look at the very question in detail today.

Endangered Species.   A close look at Topic 9.8.  Your Unit 9 Test will be on Tuesday, April 14th.  Studying ahead this weekend might be a REALLY good idea!

Endangered Species Wrap Up and Topic 9.10.   We wrap up our last topics of Unit 9 today - wow - that's it for content, everything after today is review, review, review, review.

Unit 9 FRQ Practice.   How well do you REALLY know the content in Unit 9?  The two (2) FRQs we practice today will help you assess what you truly understand and what you are still a bit fuzzy about.

Unit 9 Test.   This last unit is a big one, it counts a big proportion of the APES exam.  Hopefully you've used your independent study time well and are more than well prepared to succeed on today's summative test.

Geography Review.   Use this WYRNTK packet and the practice provided in class to hone your geography skills so you don't get confused on the test.  Knowing your geography will give you an extra edge on the APES Exam.  No school on Friday tomorrow - Good Friday for those who celebrate it.

Chemistry Review.   Use this WYRNTK packet and the practice provided in class to hone your mastery of the chemistry important to APES  so you don't get confused on the test.  We will also squeeze in an FRQ.

Happy Earth Day!   You will receive a WYRNTK packet on experimental design and how it relates to all Question 1 questions going forward on the APES exam.  We will then practice several FRQs tomorrow to make sure you understand what a control, dependent/independent variable is - and more!

Writing Experimental Design FRQs.   You will be writing and scoring two (2) FRQs that are based on your ability to remember the basics of experimental design.

Feedback Loops.   An in-depth look at positive and negative feedback loops and specifically those related to climate change.

Writing strong FRQs.   You will work in groups today to learn how to craft strong FRQs that earn you maximum points on the APES exam.

Important APES Legislation.   We will discuss and practice the ten (10) important pieces of legislation you need to know for the APES exam.

Important APES Math.   We will continue our review began yesterday on important math you need to be able to perform on the APES exam.

Day 3 of Math Practice.   You can never practice math enough!  I suggest you go through all of your unit papers and extract each math problem set we completed with many of the topics.  Concentrate all your math practice sheets in one place to review.
