Good News AP Environmental Science End of Year Project
My fellow APES teachers,If you're anything like me, the end of the year sneaks up FAST and suddenly you need something meaningful, positive, and low-prep for your students right now. This resource is fresh off the presses—I literally rolled it out to my own APES class today (5/20/2025). Because it’s brand new and not fully polished, you’re getting it at a discounted price before the final version drops. Teacher instructions are coming soon, but the student directions are ready to go and easy to

AP Environmental Science Unit 5.15 – Sustainable Agriculture Farm Design Project
Engage your learners with a hands-on, real-world scenario! In this resource, students are hired to design a small-scale sustainable farm tailored to a specific biome. Using a set budget, they’ll select 2–3 sustainable agriculture and food production practices that make sense for their environment. Students must justify their choices by explaining the aim, benefit, and drawback of each practice, and clearly show how each supports sustainability. Aligned Standards:AP Environmental Science: Unit
