  1. AP CO-TEACHING, YOU CAN DO IT! Bob Lochel, @bobloch Hatboro-Horsham HS, PA mathcoachblog.wordpress.com

  2. WHY CO-TEACH? • It turns out many other AP courses have our stuff in them. • Recruitment – students get a taste of your style and may want to take your class next year. • Because you need to break away from your math world every now and then…see how the other half lives!

  3. 1. AP PSYCHOLOGY • Describe how research design drives the reasonable conclusions that can be drawn (e.g., experiments are useful for determining cause and effect; the use of experimental controls reduces alternative explanations). • Identify independent, dependent, confounding, and control variables in experimental designs. • Distinguish between random assignment of participants to conditions in experiments and random selection of participants, primarily in correlational studies and surveys. • Apply basic descriptive statistical concepts, including interpreting and constructing graphs and calculating simple descriptive statistics (e.g., measures of central tendency, standard deviation).

  4. 2. AP CHEMISTRY Integrated rate law: • “Can be used when we want to know how long a reaction has to proceed to reach a predetermined concentration of some reagent” • Order of reaction is determined by linear regression and transformations of the response variable

  5. 2. AP CHEMISTRY Time -> Explanatory variable Amount of agent remaining -> response variable • A reaction is ZERO ORDER if x vs. y shows a linear trend. • A reaction is FIRST ORDER if x vs. ln y shows a linear trend. • A reaction is SECOND ORDER if x vs. 1 /y shows a linear trend.

  6. 3. AP BIOLOGY (2012) Science Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. • 5.1 The student can analyze data to identify patterns or relationships. • 5.2 The student can refine observations and measurements based on data analysis. • 5.3 The student can evaluate the evidence provided by data sets in relation to a particular scientific question AP BIOLOGY: Course and Exam Description.
