Written specifically for the AP Environmental Science course, Friedland and Relyea Environmental Science for AP Third Edition, is designed to help you realize success on the AP Environmental Science Exam and in your course by providing the built-in support you want and need.
Explore the world around you through science.
Module Structure Chapters are divided into short Modules to help keep content manageable. Each module opens with a brief description of the topics covered.
Chapter Opening Case Study An intriguing case study begins each chapter and asks students to think about the environmental challenges and trade-offs that are introduced. The subjects of these studies often will spark spirited class discussion.
Math practice makes perfect.
Do the Math Among the biggest challenges on the AP Environmental Science Exam are questions that ask you to solve environmental science math problems. Every chapter contains between 1-3 "Do the Math" boxes which present math skills needed for the Exam. After showing students how to work a problem, they have an opportunity to practice on their own with "Your Turn.
Analyze and interpret visual data.
Photos and Illustrations The photos and illustrations in this book have been carefully chosen and developed to help students comprehend and remember key ideas.
Tables and Graphs To understand environmental science and succeed on the exam, students must develop the ability to read and interpret a variety of tables, graphs, and charts. This text presents data in a variety of formats with careful, well-paced explanations.
Prepare and practice for the AP Environmental Science Exam. Chapter AP
Environmental Science Practice Exam A practice exam at the end of each chapter can be used for in-class assessment or homework. The practice exams familiarize students with AP-style questions all year. The practice exam includes multiple-choice questions and free-response questions. Many of the questions require analysis of data or visual material.
Unit AP Environmental Science Practice Exam The textbook is divided into 8 major units. At the end of each unit, there is a unit practice exam containing 20-25 multiple-choice questions and 2-3 free-response questions. These exams give students a chance to review material across multiple chapters and to practice APtest-taking skills.
Cumulative AP Environmental Science Practice Exam The text offers two cumulative exams that are fully aligned to the 2019 AP CED with 80 multiple-choice questions and 3 free-response questions. These exams, located at the end of the book, match the actual AP Environmental Science exam in length and scope.
Be inspired by individuals making a difference.
Working Toward Sustainability This feature, located at the end of each chapter describes people and organizations that are making a difference. The feature includes critical thinking questions that give students a chance to hone their critical thinking and writing skills.
Learn about Science in the real world.
Science Applied At the end of each unit, the "Science Applied" feature offers an opportunity to read about how the science students are learning is used to make decisions about environmental issues.
AP Practice Exams: Two new comprehensive are located at the end of the book with 100 multiple-choice questions and 4 free-response questions each. These exams, match the actual AP Environmental Science exam in length and scope.
Achieve is a comprehensive set of interconnected teaching and assessment tools that incorporate the most effective elements from Macmillan Learning's market leading solutions in a single, easy-to-use platform.
Andrew Friedland is the Richard and Jane Pearl Professor in Environmental Studies at Dartmouth College and co-author of the Environmental Science for the AP Course, 3e textbook series. He was the founding chair of the AP Test Development Committee (College Board) for Environmental Science. He has a strong interest in high school science education, and in the early years of AP environmental science he participated in many trainer and teacher workshops. For more than 15 years, Andy has been a guest lecturer at various Advanced Placement Institutes for Secondary Teachers and in high school APES classrooms. He also served on the College Board AP Environmental Science Curriculum Development and Assessment Committee.Andy regularly teaches introductory environmental science and energy courses at Dartmouth and has taught courses in forest biogeochemistry, global change, and soil science, as well as study abroad courses in Kenya. He created an online introductory environmental science course that is accessible through edX.org and YouTube.Andy received a BA degree in both biology and environmental studies, and a PhD in earth and environmental science, from the University of Pennsylvania. For almost four decades, he has been investigating the effects of air pollution on the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and lead in high-elevation forests of New England and the Northeast. During the last decade, he has examined the impact of increased demand for wood as a fuel, and the subsequent effect on carbon stored deep in forest soils.Andy has served on panels for the National Science Foundation, USDA Forest Service, and Science Advisory Board of the Environmental Protection Agency. He has authored or coauthored 80 peer-reviewed publications and one other book, Writing Successful Science Proposals, Third Edition (Yale University Press). In 2015, he was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Andy is passionate about saving energy and at his home has installed a 4 kW photovoltaic tracker that follows the sun during the day.
