AP Environmental Science is an introductory college-level interdisciplinary science course in which students identify and analyze environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them.
Throughout the course, students develop and apply the science practices to the four big ideas that underscore the Environmental Science unit concepts; energy transfer, interactions between Earth systems, interactions between different species and the environment, and sustainability.
The course will have core unit formative/summative assessments, inquiry-based laboratories and a mock examination in April using AP level questions and essay prompts.
“AP Environmental Science is definitely a challenging course that you have to stay on track with and cannot procrastinate. This is a very good course for those who want to learn a lot more about environmental/global warming. There is textbook reading, additional homework (sometimes) as well as studying between classes. I would recommend using Albert.io for review. For every unit, there were AP style tests (FRQ and MCQ) and sometimes projects too. I took this course with only 6 others in my class (a very underrated class), so the environment was very conducive to learning and the coursework felt very manageable. I felt that I learned not only environmental science but myself as a learner. I would highly recommend this class."
