Curriculum Module: Agriculture and the Nitrogen Cycle
This curriculum module presents AP Environmental Science teachers with resources to address the common misconceptions students have regarding nitrogen in the context of agricultural practices. Students will be introduced to nitrogen's role as a pollutant in our air and water resources. These introductory ideas will facilitate deeper conceptual understanding later in the course, in the Global Change and Pollution units. Chapters include:
- Lesson 1: Nitrogen Additions to Soil by Agricultural Practices
- Lesson 2: Introduction to Nitrogen Pollution of Water by Agricultural Practices
- Lesson 3: Introduction to Nitrogen Pollution of Air by Agricultural Practices
Note: Curriculum module materials reflect important topics in AP courses, and the materials are meant to provide teachers with resources and classroom ideas. However, curriculum module materials should not be taken as an indication that a particular topic will appear on the AP Exam.
