Biology AP (Junior/Senior, Year Long Course)

Generic 1

The Biology AP course is designed to be equivalent to a college introductory course in the Biological Sciences. Four big ideas stressed throughout the course include: evolution, energy processes, information transfer and interactions. This is a lab-intensive course with a focus on inquiry and analysis. Both the difficulty and volume of material covered in this course will require considerable dedication from each student. This course is designed to: 1) further his knowledge of biology; 2) increase his laboratory skills and 3) prepare the student for the Biology AP exam. An AP Biology student should be an independent, self-motivated learner with strong reading comprehension skills and analytical reasoning ability.
