Description
AP Environmental Science Exam Bundle
Buy all three exams and save 20%!
All three include a study guide.
These exams are from the first three units of my APES course. The topics on the exam include the following:
AP Environmental Science Exam: Intro to APES
- introduction to environmental science
- justifications for environmental values
- tragedy of the commons
- systems and change (closed/open systems, negative/positive feedback)
- biogeochemical cycles
- ocean acidification
AP Environmental Science Exam: Ecology & Ecosystems
- ecosystems and population vocabulary
- population growth calculations
- biodiversity and calculations (Shannon and Simpson indices)
- ecosystem change and succession
AP Environmental Science Exam: Energy Resources & Consumption
- basic energy concepts and vocabulary
- non-renewable energy resources (coal, petroleum, natural gas)
- renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydro, etc)
These exams are lengthy and require a lot of writing on the students' part. They are meant to be challenging and make the students think deeper and critically.
Perfect for...
- high school environmental science class
- AP Environmental Science
- AP exam practice
- units on sustainability, climate change, and human impacts on the environment
- building critical thinking and writing skills
- Optimized as an online learning resource and for distance learning - includes fillable PDF so you can assign it to your Google Classroom

NGSSHS-ESS2-4
Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth's systems result in changes in climate. Examples of the causes of climate change differ by timescale, over 1-10 years: large volcanic eruption, ocean circulation; 10-100s of years: changes in human activity, ocean circulation, solar output; 10-100s of thousands of years: changes to Earth's orbit and the orientation of its axis; and 10-100s of millions of years: long-term changes in atmospheric composition. Assessment of the results of changes in climate is limited to changes in surface temperatures, precipitation patterns, glacial ice volumes, sea levels, and biosphere distribution.
NGSSHS-LS2-4
Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. Emphasis is on using a mathematical model of stored energy in biomass to describe the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another and that matter and energy are conserved as matter cycles and energy flows through ecosystems. Emphasis is on atoms and molecules such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen being conserved as they move through an ecosystem. Assessment is limited to proportional reasoning to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy.
NGSSHS-ESS3-1
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. Examples of key natural resources include access to fresh water (such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater), regions of fertile soils such as river deltas, and high concentrations of minerals and fossil fuels. Examples of natural hazards can be from interior processes (such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes), surface processes (such as tsunamis, mass wasting and soil erosion), and severe weather (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts). Examples of the results of changes in climate that can affect populations or drive mass migrations include changes to sea level, regional patterns of temperature and precipitation, and the types of crops and livestock that can be raised.
NGSSHS-PS3-1
Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. Emphasis is on explaining the meaning of mathematical expressions used in the model. Assessment is limited to basic algebraic expressions or computations; to systems of two or three components; and to thermal energy, kinetic energy, and/or the energies in gravitational, magnetic, or electric fields.
NGSSHS-LS2-1
Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales. Emphasis is on quantitative analysis and comparison of the relationships among interdependent factors including boundaries, resources, climate, and competition. Examples of mathematical comparisons could include graphs, charts, histograms, and population changes gathered from simulations or historical data sets. Assessment does not include deriving mathematical equations to make comparisons.
