AP Environmental Science Science Project
This science project outline is something I like to do during second semester of my AP Environmental Science class. This is a great semester long project to get the students to engage in the process of science with a topic that they are passionate about. This follows the semester 1 ecocolumns project, so it provides them some independence with checkpoints and timelines to make sure they are progressing through the semester. Students will present their projects once the AP exam has been taken

AP Environmental Science Unit 6 Project on Energy Efficiency
I like to give my students this project as a way to explore alternative energy and allow them to look at the pros and cons of several energy sources. This gets students to research energy efficient schools around the U.S. to see what the benefits are for your school to convert to those sources, while still looking at when the benefits of energy efficiency offset the initial costs to set up. I allow students the freedom of choosing the modeling software, but it is mainly exploratory as they wil

UrbanSim: Overshoot—Population, Carrying Capacity & Resource Depletion Simulate
In 2025, Verdana looks fine. By 2080, every single one of its six resource systems is in overshoot. Nothing exploded. Nobody made an obviously terrible decision. The city just kept growing, kept consuming, and kept pushing past the limits of what its environment could sustain — one reasonable choice at a time. UrbanSim: Overshoot puts students in charge of Verdana's resource management team. Their job: monitor six critical systems across three time periods, diagnose how a city in balance becomes
