Please help me with a problem in my AP Environmental Science class.?
Please help me if you're capable of doing so. I would really like to understand this concept in my AP Environmental Class, but I simply can't grasp it. I don't require the answer, but the initial steps to obtaining it. Perhaps...a formula and a description of what variables were in it...? A typical home in the NorthernU.S might require 120 MBtu of heat an average winter. If this heat were supplied by a natural gass furnace operating at 60 percent eficiency, how many cubic feet of gas would need to be purchased? One therm is defined as 100,000 Btu, and natural gass at a normal temperature and presure has a heat value of 1030 Btu/ft^3. Thus, one therm is very nearly qual to 100 cubic feet of natural gass: 1 therm = 105 Btu/1030 Btu/Ft^3 = 97.1ft = About 100 Ft^3 How would I go about solving this...? I got. 120x.6=72 MBtu = 72,000,000 Btu 120-72=48 MBtu. But I have no idea how I can get... Cubic Feet if I'm on MBtu/Btu. How would I go about converting it?
How to cram for the AP environmental Science exam in one and a half days?

Sci. course, didn't really pay attention to much, now I will be taking it on Monday, at 8:00, today is Saturday evening and I don't have all Sunday to work either, I have the Princeton review book but does anyone have any tips for success? I really want a 3 (thats passing right?) At this point i m really asking for serious answers only, If youre just trying to get yahoo answer point, please move to the next question. Thanks!
What is the workload of AP Environmental Science? I’ve heard that there’s a TON of work, is this accurate?
Ima level with you, champ. It depends on your school. I’ve ran 11 AP’s in my highschool career, from the chump change to what some regard as the hardest AP in the school. “Chump change?”, you may be thinking to yourself. Why yes, my friend, chump change. What AP could be considered chump change?AP Environmental Science in my school can. Don’t get me wrong, the class can be difficult for some, especially depending on your teacher. For us, the worst work was in the lab data notebook which was beautifully, and I mean beautifully, organized for us already. The study guides were a pain but I’ll be damned if they didn’t prepare you for the tests. My teacher was easy and honestly, she came off as an airhead. Now I quietly regard her as one of the best, if one of the most boring (I fell asleep pretty regularly in her class, kind of a problem I have. It’s not narcolepsy. Probably.) teachers in the school due to the sheer accuracy of her work. Easiest 5 I’ve ever gotten on an AP, since all the material she covered was smack dab on the exam. Then again, it’s my only five, the rest have been 4’s, with a three in AP Physics 1, but damn.Basically, you’re asking the wrong people champ, but if your teacher is anything like mine, you’re in for smooth sailing if you keep your head in the game on the simple, rarely cumulative work.
I need help on requirement # 5 on environmental science?
1. State an introduction giving the purpose and need of the proposed plan or project. 2. Describe the 'affected environment'. (potentially affected) 3. List a range of alternative plans. 4. Provide an analysis of the Environmental Impacts of each alternative. There are many more steps depending on the initial approval or recommendation by the government. For example if you were proposing the bbuildingof a new cheese plant, you would have to consider the impact of bringing trucks in/out of the factory, the discharge of water used in the plant for processing etc; the change to the landscape (run-off of rain due to asphalt/concrete) and so on.
Should I drop AP environmental science for regular Physics?
Okay so first off, I have very chronic anxiety, and the work load of my AP classes is overwhelming me already, and it's only in the first week of school! I have a slacker schedule though, here it is (btw I'm a junior): Honors English Algebra 2 Advanced Band AP US History Spanish 3 AP Environmental Science I am not a math or science person at ALL. And personally, I really want to drop APES, but I don't think I should for the sake of getting into a good college....I've heard colleges like you to take bio, chem, and physics, but I'd just want to do regular physics because of my anxiety and I just cannot handle all the extra work of an AP science. There is absolutely no chance I will major in science in college. And along with all my extracurricular activities, I just don't have time for APES. But I don't know if that is the best decision because colleges like you to have many AP's but I just can't handle the work right now. I will not be taking science senior year, so taking APES senior year wouldn't even be an option. What do you think? Should I drop APES? PLEASE HELP! P.S. I will definitely not drop Honors English or AP US History. I really enjoy those subjects. But I do NOT enjoy science. The other problem is my slacker schedule.......help me please. I want to get into a good college :(
Creative Environmental Science Experiment?
Hi, I take an AP Environmental Science course and for our final project we have to perform an experiment and my teacher wants us to be creative in what we test and a lot of the ones online I see are either to difficult ( capture 100 frogs near a pond) or are a little lackluster. I am not trying to be lazy but I am not the most creative so I figured why not ask the world for help.~ An example from last year was a student tested natural pesticide (Cayenne pepper spray) versus chemical pesticide to see which would work better for farming. Thanks in advance for the creative brainstorming!
Did anyone read Silent Spring? (Environmental Science)?
Can anyone help me with this questions? I didn't know I was enrolled in this class until I got my schedule yesterday, I can't switch out of it on such short notice, and I'm in a rush to do the summer project for it. Please help D: 1. How does Carson classify modern insecticides? What are the differences between the two largest groups? 2. How is the ingestion and accumulation of DDT and other insecticides possible even when foods directly treated with these chemicals are avoided? 3. What is potentiation and how does it pose a threat to living organisms? 4. Why does Carson compare the proliferation of synthetic chemical pesticides to a “smooth super highway on which we progress with great speed?” 5. Describe some specific examples of “biological control” methods that have been attempted since the publication of Silent Spring. How effective are these methods? Why? Include your citations. 6. Why does Carson use biologist Carl P. Swanson’s metaphor of science as a river to explain the science of “biological control” in America? 7. What responsibility does Carson believe scientists have to the public?
Why does my daughter have more work, papers, projects in high school AP classes than I ever did in college?
This depends on a few things:What high school she goes toWhat college you went toWhat your major was in collegeTo start off, most AP teachers in high school want to prepare students for the AP exams. This means that essays are critical since every AP exam has an essay section. With that being said, the more practice you get, the better you will be at subject x, y or z. This is why AP classes give so many papers to write.As for work, AP exams also have a multiple choice section. What the AP teachers did at my high school was they would give us two exams for each chapter. One exam would be to hand write things out (i.e solve problems in calculus, written responses for world history and environment science, etc.), and the other exam would be multiple choice. This would ensure that we had learned the material and that we were prepared for the structure of the multiple choice section of the AP exams.Now for college: depending on what your major was and what school you went to plays a major role in this. For example, I’m a computer engineering major, meaning that we don’t have many papers to write. After I finished my school’s core classes (the english, history, humanity classes), I barely have any papers to write (unless it’s a project proposal of some sort). If you were an english major, then you would definitely write one hundred times more papers than I had to. I don’t know much about the workload of different colleges, but at my school professors love to give a million homework questions, but they won’t collect it. So technically I have a huge work load, but I rarely do any assignments that aren’t collected, so it doesn’t seem like my work load is intense (I’d much prefer to study on my own, doing problems as I go instead of grinding them out one assignment at a time).I hope this helped!
How much homework do you get for ap us government and ap environmental science per night?
If you want me to honestly tell you, then I would say AP Government; however, it also LARGELY depends on your teacher. For instance, personally, although AP Environmental science you're supposed to have homework every other day or so (or not very often), if you have a super chill teacher (like I do) then you will almost NEVER have homework and you will have pretty much only lab grades and test grades and free-b 100s. AP Government on the, other hand, is pretty time consuming because even if you have a chill teacher, you still need to do the assigned reading if you want to do well on your tests and quizzes; however, if your teacher is super chill, then you can expect 100s or high 90s on your project grades which help a lot since most of them are test grades. All in all though, environmental science typically has little homework and government has a mediocre amount of homework per night for an AP class. However, some of the classes that I will warn you about (at least for my High School) to be cautious of are Calculus BC, Physics C, Economics AP Mico/Macro, Music Theory AP, Art AP, and Art History AP. Those classes, typically, are the AP classes that have a deadly amount of either homework or studying. :P
Will polavaram project completed by chandrababu Naidu as he become again cm in Ap?
Nope Polavaram don’t complete even after 100 years.Because my guess is project is dragging from past 1960 and main fear was Nature which may cause mass floods and landslides which will destroy towns or villages in minutes.Due to dangers project was moving very very slowly and contratcors get more work due to more extension and maintenance of projectThousands of crores of funds are eaten by contractors and project benefits only contractors .Projects just jumpla to fool people in hope of water and some dirty politics. Even if TDP completes projects due to corruption and forcing environmental department officials may kill millions of innocents by floods.Don’t play with nature. be more natural.Just think why project got environmental clearance in 2005 when idea started long back in 1960 shows there was huge danger due to change of land geography by project. I hope water should be distributed through old rivers and canals instead of creating big projects.I wish Andhra politicians to foresee danger and stop or minimise project to save innocent lives otherwise many will diefrom wikipedia Odisha and Chhattisgarh have filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the Project which has probability of temporarily submerging large areas of its stateStop Polavaram Save Adivasis
