APES Objectives – Unit 8

Summary

The Unit 8 “What Do I Need to Know?” handout covers all 15 learning objectives for the Aquatic and Terrestrial Pollution unit of AP Environmental Science, including point and nonpoint sources of pollution, eutrophication, bioaccumulation and biomagnification, solid waste disposal, sewage treatment, pollution and human health, and pathogens and infectious disease. Students track their confidence across each objective using the built-in “I Know” column. Aligned to the CED with an AP Exam weighting of 7–10%, this is the broadest pollution unit in the course and spans aquatic ecosystems, waste management, toxicology, and public health in one handout.
