"In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught."
Baba Dioum –Senegalese Environmentalist
Welcome to AP Environmental Science
AP Environmental Science (APES) is a year-long course that is the equivalent to a one semester college level Environmental Science course. Students will be expected to take the AP Environmental Science test in May 2019.
Environmental Science is the interaction of sciences that attempts to explain how life on the Earth is sustained, what leads to environmental problems, how humans are responsible and interact with these elements and how these problems can be solved. Many sciences are important to environmental science. These include Biology (especially Ecology, that part of Biology that deals with the relationships among living things and their environment), Geology, Hydrology, Climatology, Meteorology, Oceanography, and Soil Science.
In addition, APES students learn about environmental laws, environmental regulations, and environmental history. APES students must be good readers, writers and strong in math.
Every week in AP Environmental we will be participating in weekly challenges... These weekly challenges are part of a grade, but more important are meant to be fun, make an impact, and be educational. There will be a running list of all of the weekly challenges here.
WEEK 1 (January 13): Citizen Science
Week 2 (January 20): Energy Audit (make a copy)
