will it look bad if i take APES instead of a harder science class?Answered
i will be a junior this year, and i am taking AP lang, AP calc ab, APUSH, and APES. however, i've heard that environmental science is the easiest AP science, so if i take it, will i look lazy? AP bio would be my second option, but i didn't want to take it because i thought the course load would be too much along with my other classes. i was good at 9th grade bio but it didn't interest me very much. but, if i take APES, will it look like i'm just trying to get an easy 5 in a science without doing much work?

AP is AP. It only might look "bad" if you're planning to do a major that requires biology or another science.
I'm doing something pretty similar. I'm taking honors and college English and history classes but taking regular science and math. My outlook on it is, I want to be a lawyer, so I'm going to need those advanced classes. Math and science I won't need as much. I would rather take harder classes in subjects I'm good at and easier classes in subjects I struggle with and aren't as important. Plus, if you push yourself too hard then do poorly in the classes you struggle with, it'll bring your GPA down.
