AP Environmental Science DIFFERENTIATED Math Review + Practice
Differentiate your math practice and review. Easily assign students the practice that they individually need in order to scaffold up to harder problems later in the year. This has been updated to reflected the changes to the calculator policy in 2019 in which calculators are allowed on the AP Environmental Science Exam. All worksheets have been tested and used with students for multiple years.Use the videos with your students to teach math concepts at an individual pace. https://youtu.be/QEczhW

Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Practice
This activity provides students with energy practice! it starts with identifying different forms of energy in common life scenarios and items: mechanical, kinetic, potential, heat/thermal, radiant/light, sound, electrical, nuclear and chemical. It then moves on to identifying energy transformations: the starting form and the final form. The practice is best used after the "Energy Powerpoint" and the "Energy Guided Notes". I find it important to scaffhold the practice - to do a few of each type

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
