AP Environmental Science weekend homework

 AP Environmental Science- READ chapter two of raising Elijah -focus should be on:

Most of this chapter deals with one particular pollutant- pay attention to how dangerous it is, where it is found, what it effects in your body and how dosing is determined (in terms of how much it takes to cause an effect in children vs adults).

APES QUIZ tomorrow

QUIZ on first chapter of Raising Elijah- Any handwritten notes will be allowed during the quiz- you will not be able to use your book.

Hint- pollution and stress and how they effect pregnancy will definitely be covered.

APES weekend homework- podcasts

APES weekend homework ( have this done by Monday)- listen to the segments and take notes- be curious don't forget your "and one"!

You can listen to the segments posted here or go to the LOE podcast app and click on the dates for the episodes-  The Fracking segment is the first segment from July 19th and the segments from July 26th are also the first two segments so you won't have to go searching for them.


From the July 19, 2019 Living on Earth- https://www.loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=19-P13-00029

Fracking and Your Health

(stream / mp3)

Fracking forces water, sand and chemicals into shale rock at high pressures, extracting much more oil and gas than conventional wells. But this highly efficient method comes with environmental and health risks including birth defects, cancer, and asthma. A new meta study brings together the findings of more than 1700 studies, articles and reports on the health impacts of fracking. Coauthor Sandra Steingraber, a professor of Environmental Studies and Sciences at Ithaca College, joins Host Bobby Bascomb to discuss the importance of this massive body of evidence. (09:26)

 The next two segments are From  the July 26, 2019 Living on Earth  https://www.loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=19-P13-00030

SEGMENTS

Miners Pollute the Sea of Cortez

(stream / mp3)

On July 9, 2019, a facility operated by mining company Grupo Mexico spilled thousands of liters of sulfuric acid into the Sea of Cortez. It’s not the first time the company has come under fire for spilling toxic chemicals into the environment: in 2014, 11 million gallons of copper sulfate and heavy minerals spilled from a copper mine it operates in Sonora, contaminating major rivers and creating a local environmental disaster. Kendal Blust, a correspondent for public radio station KJZZ, discusses public outcry over the spill with Host Bobby Bascomb. (07:48)

Beyond the Headlines / Peter Dykstra

(stream / mp3)

In this week’s trip beyond the headlines, Peter Dykstra joins Host Bobby Bascomb to discuss a eulogy for a glacier in Iceland that was lost due to climate change. Next, they turn to the future, or lack thereof, of plastics recycling in the United States. Finally, with a look into the history vaults, the two examine the history of Japan’s controversial whaling for “scientific research”. (04:52)

APES homework for tonight

APES- homework for tonight:

Geology- *watch this and take some basic notes (don't worry about the names of scientists- we're are looking for big picture information). Write down basic geology information and one or two things that occurred during each of the major divisions of time.

https://www.pbs.org/video/a-brief-history-of-geologic-time-jaljq2/

*You may have to choose your local pbs station to watch the video- I picked SCETV- it's free and won't make you download anything.

2019-2020 school year Basics

Welcome Back!  Here is some basic information that will apply to all of my classes:

You will need:
Two composition notebooks
Folder or binder for handouts
colored pencils
Black or Blue pen
Standard pencils

You will have group warm ups, quizzes and tests as well as individual assessments.

Typically, these things are not allowed out during class:  food, drinks or cell phones(these should be off ).

If you need to have something to drink throughout the day ( you're involved in sports and have to stay hydrated or you're just a really thirsty person)  keep in mind that "one use" plastic water bottles will NEVER be allowed out. A reusable drink container (one made intentionally for repeated use) would be fine provided it has a lid.

Here's why:

Recycle?? It's the last "R" for a reason!

Mind mapping- organize your thoughts!!

 This next bit applies to AP Biology and AP Environmental Science classes:

These classes are hard. They require you to have an excellent work ethic, increased maturity level, minimal absenteeism (never miss a lab) and it is assumed you already have a basic background in the sciences being taught.

General Biology Regular and/or Honors:
Expect one homework assignment a week- usually vocabulary "window panes"

You will most likely have homework nightly.
You will absolutely need internet access.
You will have to design your own laboratory investigations and run them in class so you will need to work with your group to make sure you have the materials you need.
