    PHS Advanced Placement Course Information 2018-2019 Social Science Courses (category A in the A-G college requirements) AP World History (Grade 10 core class; Grade 11-12 elective) AP World History focuses on developing students’ abilities to think conceptually about world history from approximately 8000 BCE to the present and apply historical thinking skills as they learn about the past. Five themes of equal importance — focusing on the environment, cultures, state-building, economic systems, and social structures — provide areas of historical inquiry for investigation throughout the course. AP World History encompasses the history of the five major geographical regions of the globe: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, with special focus on historical developments and processes that cross multiple regions. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for AP World History, although students should be able to read a college-level textbook and write grammatically correct, complete sentences. Teacher: Mr. Grady [email protected] and Mr. Simmons [email protected] AP United States History (Grade 11 core class) AP United States History focuses on developing students’ abilities to think conceptually about U.S. history from approximately 1491 to the present and apply historical thinking skills as they learn about the past. Seven themes of equal importance — identity; peopling; politics and power; work, exchange, and technology; America in the world; environment and geography; and ideas, beliefs, and culture — provide areas of historical inquiry for investigation throughout the course. These require students to reason historically about continuity and change over time and make comparisons among various historical developments in different times and places.

  • AP Potential Expectancy Tables Based on PSAT/NMSQT And
    AP Potential Expectancy Tables based on PSAT/NMSQT and SAT Scores on the 2015-16 Redesigned Scales Using Final Concordance Tables Maureen Ewing and Jeff Wyatt January 2017 COLLEGE BOARD RESEARCH RESEARCH Introduction Historically, AP Potential™ has used PSAT/NMSQT® scores to identify students who are likely to earn a 3 or higher on a specific AP Exam based on research showing moderate to strong relationships between PSAT/NMSQT scores and AP Exam scores (Camara & Millsap, 1998; Ewing, Camara, & Millsap, 2006; Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014a). For most subjects, AP Potential expectancy tables have been derived by combining tenth and eleventh grade PSAT/NMSQT data with scores from AP Exams taken as either eleventh or twelfth graders during the following academic year. For AP European History and AP World History, ninth grade PSAT/NMSQT scores and tenth grade AP Exam scores were also recently included in the expectancy table calculations (Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014b). Starting with the launch of the redesigned SAT® Suite of Assessments (i.e., PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT) in the 2015-16 academic year, AP Potential will also be reported based on scores from additional PSAT tests (depending on the student’s grade level) as well as be extended to reporting based on SAT scores. The purpose of this report is (1) to describe how we created blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT data and (2) to present these new tables on the 2015-16 redesigned scale for the SAT Suite of Assessments. Methodology and Results To create blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT scores, analyses were conducted using data from the following students/years1: • Students who took the PSAT/NMSQT in fall of October 2007 and/or October 2008 as sophomores or juniors and then completed one or more AP Exams during the following academic year in May 2009 or May 2010, respectively2.

  • Ap Studio Art Summer Work 2021
    AP STUDIO ART SUMMER WORK 2021 MRS. BRITTANY BRYDGES-NEELY DIRECTIONS: READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT. Carefully read the project criteria below and email me images of your work by the assigned due dates. Points will be deducted for late work and can seriously jeopardize your MP1 grade, there are no rolling deadlines with summer work and no extensions will be granted. If you do not understand these directions you must contact me via email; not understanding is not a valid excuse to miss deadlines, you have to communicate and ask for clarification. This project is worth 100 pts total and will set you up for success for the rest of the class and for the AP Studio Art Exam. AP Studio Art is a college-level Art course which grants much in the way of artistic expression and autonomy but demands college-level work ethic, this will be a learning experience; I expect your best work, effort and punctuality with the assigned due dates. To put this in perspective: you will only have 9 grades for the entire course, make the summer work count. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Any 2-dimensional media (material) and any artistic style is fair game in AP Art; however, you cannot copy imagery, artwork or photos that belong to someone else (That’s illegal. It’s fine for practice, but not ok here). This means no copyrighted imagery or cartoon characters, no Pinterest or Tiktok inspired projects and no direct copying of images you found on Google. Reference images are ok to use, but you have to tweak them using YOUR OWN CREATIVITY, in other words: find several references or photos and combine them in an interesting way.

About 1 out of every 6 people living today do not have adequate access to water, and more than double that number lack basic sanitation. In some countries, half the population does not have access to safe drinking water, and hence is afflicted with poor health. Each day nearly 5,000 children worldwide die from diarrhea-related diseases, a toll that would drop dramatically if sufficient water for sanitation was available. From psychiatry to education, virtual reality is becoming a powerful new tool for training practitioners and treating patients in addition to its growing use in various forms of entertainment. Virtual reality is already being used in industrial design, for example. Engineers are creating entire cars and airplanes "virtually" in order to test design principles, ergonomics, safety schemes. VR has been enlisted to treat people suffering from certain phobias, and it can be a successful treatment for some more serious disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Carbon Nanotube Implants Could Help Diagnose Medical Conditions by sending a signal when they encounter certain molecules in your body. Scientists have long been on the lookout for more efficient ways to identify particular molecules in the body because their levels can be indicative of dozens of different health conditions.
