In this inquiry lab, students discover the value of lichens as living indicators of environmental quality. Students will perform experiments to see how different given pollution samples affect lichens. Pollution data will be analyzed and compared.
New blended learning options combine the benefits of classroom, laboratory and digital learning. The variety of topics and amount of time needed for each AP® Environmental Science lab can leave students overwhelmed and wondering how the hands-on experience will help them achieve exam success. FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Labs for AP® Environmental Science help teachers and students unpack the lab concepts, saving valuable class time. Online resources give students an overview of each lab with specific tips and techniques.
Students come to class prepared and can more easily make the connection with AP® exam content through review, practice, and increased comprehension. Your students can watch, pause, rewind and re-watch pre-lab concept, technique and procedure videos tied directly to the advanced inquiry AP Environmental Science experiment. Each lab begins with an introductory video of the concept being covered. In addition, there are questions connecting the lab to the AP® exam content along with reteach videos to facilitate a deeper understanding.
Each lab ends with a summary video that relates the experiment to the AP exam by showing students sample exam questions based on each specific experiment. Students can then practice on real exam questions because each lab includes a unique set of online problems that relates the experiment to the exam. And each problem has its own re-teach video students can watch if they get stuck.
Adaptable to you and how you teach. You can choose to run experiments in multiple ways with access to digital procedures, downloadable pdfs that are inquiry-based, and downloadable pdfs that include a step-by-step procedure for each lab. A digital dashboard allows you to track student performance on assessment questions. Standards-based, tested inquiry lab kits with real sample data that have been designed and developed to meet the most current AP Environmental Science guidelines and investigation requirements.
Each advanced inquiry kit includes all the materials, specialized equipment and instructions needed for a class of 24 students working in pairs.
