Here is an example of one of my weekly emails.
This week, you'll pick up where you left off. For most of you, that is with your labs.
Porosity lab - this is a live lab that you have to do yourself. Remember, if you need some supplies ask me or another science teacher.
Groundwater lab - this is an online lab simulation. Follow the URL link and record your data in the table an journal provided.
Several of you have started watching the Earth Revealed programs on water and answering the associated questions. Some of you are on running water video 2, some on groundwater, and some haven't started. You should be able to do these in class as the videos are not through youtube.
I set up a couple of webpages that I want you to read on Moodle that do not have a hand-in assignment to go with them. One is a page on "Understanding Groundwater" and the other on "The Rock Cylce and Soil Formation".
You then have a couple of short reading assignments from your book, another view only page on "Types of Soil", and an online weathering lab.
The week culminates with a couple of AP Style tests. The first is an AP FRQ (free response question). It is a math based problem. You must show your work to receive credit. You have 30 minutes for this when you take it. It involves calculations, some of which are similar to those you did on your personal water inventory. You may also want to review my earlier videos on "Unit Analysis" before taking the test.
The second test is all multiple choice. Many of these questions were taken straight from released AP exams. It will give you a feel of what AP Env. Sci. multiple choice questions are like.
Good luck,
Mr. Ingram
