Public Demonstration of Knowledge
Unit 1: Ecology data was collected when students tested the water in the MICDS stream for pH, alkalinity, hardness, DO, and phosphates. This data will be shared with APES and Middle School Stream Team later in the year. Unit 2: students build models (simulating hydrolysis) of major macromolecules, hang models of triglycerides, DNA, polysaccharides, and proteins around the room.

Final Assessment
T2 Assessment: Mock AP Exam (for content covered up to this point) T3 Assessment: College Board AP Biology Exam

Units
