The APES Unit 3 Review can be used several ways:
- While going through a Unit as a working document, a learning guide, students can add to it as they read though the text book or listen to lecture
- To complete just before a Unit test as a study guide
- At the end of the semester to prepare for the AP Environmental Science Exam
When used as a learning guide: It is helpful to have students begin the Unit by going through the Essential Knowledge itself, highlighting key vocabulary. This gives them a good foundation to grow from, they know what to look for and what is important as they learn about, or review for the Unit.
When my students use these as review, I put them into small groups of three or four. They work together to complete the questions. Then students get into new groups and review their answers. I help guide them and help with questions that they can not come to an agreement on.

Here are what some Happy Teachers have to say about the AP Environmental Science (APES) Unit 3 Review in our Teachers Pay Teachers store:
This is my first year teaching AP Environmental and I was struggling in the beginning to find resources and modify them so they aligned to the CED. This provided me the template to build my lessons, ensure I was aligning it with the CED standards, and provide the flexibility to feel comfortable enough to stray and be creative. It also provided links to additional resources that I then utilized. It was a real life saver for me and reduced my stress level significantly. – Justin G. November 19, 2021
Awesome review documents! I plan to use with my students as we prepare for the AP exam. Next year I plan to use them with students from the start so that they are building a review guide the entire year. – Leslie D. February 9, 2021
Love the way way the documents are organized with the standards. Comes with teacher guide with links to videos, labs, etc. It is a real time saver for me and my students like the simplicity yet thoroughness of the unit. I will DEFINITELY purchase other units!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your work at a reasonable price. – Judith L. December 7, 2020
