Welcome to APES

Welcome to AP Environmental Science! This is going to be a year full of exciting learning. 

This course's framework reflects learning that analyzes environmental concepts and processes to achieve understanding in order to propose and justify solutions to environmental problems. This course will teach you how to apply science to the solutions to important social problems. It will also provide opportunities to practice applying scientific methods to practical, real-life problems. 

In this course, we will be focusing on 4 Big Ideas.

• #1: Energy Transfer
• #2: Interactions between Earth System
• #3 Interactions between different Species and the Environment
• #4 Sustainability. 

This course will also consist of at least 25% of investigations and labs. This is a hands-on class where you will be able to understand the environmental impact you have, the impact our community has, and the impact as a species we have.
