Week #8 (Week #3 of 2nd six weeks): Is it Warming? Is it Cooling?
Hey Scholars,
This week's topic is global climate change. The current scientific view point is that our climate is slowly warming. Prior to this current belief, there were scholars that thought we were headed for an ice age. Even movies such as The Day After Tomorrow depict this. This week we will reinforce Science's Current Perspective but for this week's post I want you to find alternate opinions on this subject. Post the link where you found your info.

Week #4: Herp. Survey
Hey Scholars,
Since we have discussed Biodiversity and we are about to start our Herp. Survey, I want to know what kind of snakes should be in our area. So we know what to look for. Research a snake species local to our area, give some description and post a link to a photo.

Welcome Scholars!!!
Scholars,
Welcome to AP Environmental Science. Yes, the "AP" stands for Advanced Placement. This means you are the best of the best of the best in the field of Science. I look forward to furthering your greatness in the field of science this semester. This course will challenge you and will give you the opportunity to explore the fields of Ecology, Biology, Chemistry as well as many other disciplines that make up Environmental Science. APES will allow you to see first hand through labs and projects how real scientists research and make huge positive impacts on local and global environments. This class will also give you a glimpse at different careers in the field of Environmental Science and perhaps the opportunity to pursue one. It will also directly prepare you to take the AP Exam given by the AP College Board.
Sincerely,
Mr. Dillman
