WHY CO-TEACH?
00 11 0 010 1 01 0 110 1 00 01 01 00 1 011
• 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!

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).

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

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.

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
