| | The Labs
A series of labs have been produced and are included on this Web site. Each lab has been the subject of an extensive peer review by a number of experienced environmental science educators. The content of this initial collection is varied, and AP ES teachers and students in different areas around the country should be able to complete each of the labs. It is hoped that other AP ES teachers will be willing to share their labs and format them for posting on the site. I know from meeting many AP ES teachers at the annual Reading of the exam each June that a lot a great work is being done all over the country with regard to lab and field investigations. Interesting ideas also pop up on the Electronic Discussion Group as well! If you have a good lab that you have conducted with your AP ES class, I hope you will utilize this forum and share it. That way we will be continually adding to an invaluable database for the AP ES course. One final word of warning: These initial labs are not your typical cookbook variety. They each contain an inquiry-based component! The following labs, listed alphabetically by author, are included as part of the initial posting:
