Biology students- re-take document and link to practice questions

If you bombed the white sheet test and want an opportunity to improve your grade
OR if you just want to be better prepared for the EOC do the following assignment.
You can print off the document, but you need to hand write your answers!
Once you get to the document, click the link at the top, the answers go in order. Just read and write your answers down :)  Give it to me on Tuesday!! Its lengthy so don't wait until the last minute!!

Friday May 20th all classes / link to window pane list if you lost it!

Watch the video (53 minutes).
Answer the questions
Work on your window panes (Biology)

Write out these questions first, then answer them as you watch:
1. What scientific evidence is there to support the theory that climate change is  anthropogenic (man made) in nature?
2. What exactly is leading to such rapid climate change?
3. Who has been "confusing" the climate change issue?
4.What is the purpose of confusing the issue?
5. What are some things (give at least 3) that can be done to reduce our human impact on the climate?

APES in the news project is due on Thursday, May 19th

DUE ON May 19th- If you show up at school at all on the 16th and you don’t hand it in, it will be considered late- you will lose 20 points.

You must hand it in on the 16th(or earlier). I you are absent for a legitimate reason you will need to hand it in on the very next day that you return to school (even if you miss my class)

A.P.E.S in the News Scrapbook Project

PURPOSE: One of the important goals of science education at the High School level is to help students learn how to make good decisions about public issues. Scientific information is decimated to the public through a variety of media, including newspapers, magazines, broadcasting, internet etc. for this project you will collect, read, and evaluate newspaper and news magazine articles.

A. THE COLLECTION: You must collect a given number of articles. Each selected article must be about or related to some aspect of environmental science – global warming, mining, land use, environmental issues, ecology, biodiversity etc.

Articles must be at least 500 words and be selected from reliable news sources.

Podcasts must be at least 6 minutes long.

The collection of articles should cover from the summer months right up until the present.

Article must be from a wide variety of LEGITIMATE  sources. No more than two articles from the same source.

For each of the articles you must do the following:  

Each article must be mounted on a page (or pages) to be kept in a loose – leaf notebook. Use tape or glue (no staples) – NEATNESS COUNTS!

You may use a photo album or scrapbook if you like.

You don’t have to have them in a notebook until the final assignment. .  

Each page must have the date and source of the article (typed)

Each page needs an image that relates to the article

Each article must be accompanied by a thorough summary on an index card- summary must be contained to one side and must be LEGIBLE- if I can’t read it, it won’t count.

B. THE ANALYSIS : Once all your articles have been collected, you must do the following:  

Title Page - Give your scrapbook a title that reflects something about the project.

Organization – Your scrapbook must be organized in some topical manner (not chronological or by source). This scheme need not be explained, but ought to be obvious.

You must include a “table of contents” that demonstrates your organizational plan.

You must select three articles that you found the most interesting and write 2-3 pages on what you learned from them and why they interested you.
Handwritten- at least 3 pages.
Typed- 12 pt font (no larger) -calibri  or Arial font

C. THE GRADE: Provided that you adequately meet the above criteria, your grade will be determined by the number of articles you have collected.

18 articles/ podcasts total (at least 2 up to 6 )

Creativity and NEATNESS COUNT!
