APES Review material- review session is a no-go :(

Hey, I've only had a handful of people interested in meeting this afternoon and most of them are students from this semester so I'm not going to hold a review session.

Here is a link to review material with some white sheet boxes:

Also if you haven't looked at this stuff in a while  I would binge watch APES in a box to get ready for the exam.

If you are kind of prepared (Ryan and Hunter for example) and most of the white sheet stuff is still fresh in your head,  I would look at the math review stuff!

Good luck to everyone! Remember to show units when you do math and if a question is taking you too long to figure out- skip it and come back if you have time- there are probably a few easy ones you can know out instead!!

AP Environmental Science EXAM is ON MONDAY! Possible Sunday review session

Hey, I thought some of you from last semester might enjoy a little review session before the big day.

IF the weather is nice I'm going to drive up to Lineberger Park  (near downtown Gastonia)
to do another review session!

I'll re-post Sunday by noon to let you know if it's a go. It will depend on the weather and the interest level. IF we meet it will be between 4 and 5 -check the blog before you go :)

Biology make- up clip for "Tapped" assignment


Ok this is 25 minutes (about). It looks like it's wrapping up before the 25 minutes- BUT it's not- continue to watch the entire time.

Watch and take notes! It's an old favorite! Bill Nye!

Sub Plan for 4-25-17


My 2nd and 3rd block will be on a field trip.
Only two students from 3rd period should be in class.
Let them study for their test on Wednesday and use this time as a study hall.

4th block is my Biology class.

Have them watch the documentary linked below and complete the handout that goes with the documentary.

I would let a student sit at my computer and pause the film as needed so they can answer all of the questions.

Here is the link to the film:

APES TEST REMINDER and GMAIL issues

 MY GMAIL is out of commission at the moment! 

So if anyone is trying to get a hold of me I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see me on Monday. 

I've informed our IT people of the issue so hopefully we'll be back to normal this week.


 I hope you've all had a terrific Spring Break.

Just a couple of  reminders: 

Your White sheet test, individual and all 8 boxes, will be on Monday.

Field trip is still on for Tuesday! If you haven't paid or handed in your consent form yet, please do so on Monday.  
Bring your own lunch, bring a change of clothes in case you fall in the water. NO Bathing suits or "inappropriate" clothing.
