AP Psych AAQ Free Response Practice - Nature vs Nurture

This is designed to be an introductory practice to the new AP Psychology AAQ Free response practice, but can really be used at any time, or as a review for the current CED's research methods.

There are two articles related to the concept of nature v nurture - the standard Bouchard article about twins reared together an apart, but also a second article about the effects of pesticide exposure on development. For Bouchard, there is a link to the full article, but the 40 studies summary can also be used. For the pesticide article, there is a link to the original article but also summary attached after the discussion guide, depending on the abilities of your students or as an opportunity to differentiate.

There are questions for the students to respond to as they read. You can assign half the students one article, and the other half the second article. They can first discuss their responses with someone who read the same article, then share in pairs with one student who read each article.
