This Learning Target Guide (Study Guide) is for students to use as they prepare for quizzes and exams in AP® Environmental Science. I use this guide with mastery grading which is similar to standards-based or equity grading. Read more about mastery grading in this post.
My students use this detailed and comprehensive learning target guide to prepare for content quizzes. I combined topics on the guide to show which topics are on a quiz. This guide is optional and I do not collect. Students who wish to do a retake must have the portion of this study guide completed by hand. This is part of mastery grading. Because I do not collect and its not part of the grade, I have not created an answer key. If students read the book and watch the lecture videos, they do not need to check their answers.
This guide is comprehensive and is ready to go with some small changes by you:
- Page numbers for whichever book you use. The ones listed are for Environmental Science for the AP Course 4th ed by Friedland and Reylea (published by BFW).
- Online videos for notes. The link for AP® Daily Videos are on the guide (students need a sign-in to AP® Classroom), but you can also add direct links to other video series. My lecture videos are on my Youtube Channel.
- Combine different topics into the quizzes you wish to give. My students appreciate how this guide is formatted so they know what learning targets will be on a quiz.
You can create content quizzes based on the learning targets using your textbook’s question bank or from my content quiz bundle.
Unit 1 is free and the link to download will come on your email. Make sure you check spam and junk folders.
Unit 2 is on this post.
