Attending an APSI for APES this year allowed me to broaden my knowledge and sharpen my skills outside of Biology/AP Biology. It provided me with great support and training to get my first year of teaching APES off to a great start!

The APSI helped me break down the AP college board CED so I knew what each section meant, it also helped me find the different resources on AP Classroom, and be able to collaborate with fellow AP teachers. This collaboration and support would not have been possible without the APSI. The year hasn't even begun and the impact has been monumental.

Bearden High School

“Because of our aging Venier equipment, the LabQuest 3 has allowed students to use the Venier probeware in lab investigations, such as pH probes for acid-base titrations, colorimeters for Beer’s Law and kinetics experiments, conductivity probes, etc. The ability to use the probeware with the LabQuest interface has greatly assisted our AP Chemistry labs, as well as honors chemistry labs and AP Biology labs.”

~ Andrea Looney Hevrdeys
Bearden High, Knox County Schools

Lebanon High School

“My students have greatly benefitted from having higher quality artist-grade materials to work with on their AP art portfolio pieces. Higher quality Prismacolor pencils have a much wider range of colors, and blend much more seamlessly.  Students also really enjoyed experimenting with paints that we normally don’t have in the art room, figuring out how gouache behaves differently than acrylic and how it is useful for certain applications.”

~ Susan Peck
Lebanon High School, Wilson County

Battle Creek High School

“This grant allowed us to purchase watering testing kits to use in our class. We have a creek on our campus that runs into the Duck River (most biodiverse river in the US). We are also a brand new school built on a farm, so it was interesting to test the water to see if we had evidence of pollution from the farm. We plan on testing twice a year, every year and comparing results. This grant allowed us to apply what we were learning in class to real world situations.”

~ Kate Sneed

Battle Creek High, Maury County

Power Center Academy High

“My students loved being able to do a hands on project instead of “our usual boring notes”. They were able to connect what we were learning in class with a fun activity to make the math stick.  When we were building our catapults one student was so confident in his team’s catapult. They were the first group done and they were so excited to try it out.  There were good discussions based on the outcomes of the projects.”

~ Tiffany Compton

Power Center Academy High, Memphis-Shelby County
