Overview
Summary | Deepen biology skills with AP-level labs on cells, genetics, ecology, and scientific inquiry. |
Description | In previous courses, students should have developed an understanding of the biological processes that are exhibited in the world. This biology course will expand upon that knowledge and deepen students’ understanding. The major concepts covered are chemical properties of living things, cells, genetics, evolution, biological diversity, plants, animals, and ecology. Students at this level should show development in their ability and understanding of scientific inquiry. The units contain experiments and projects that seek to develop a deeper conceptual meaning for and actively engage the student. The continued exposure to both scientific concepts and scientific inquiry will serve to improve the student’s skill and understanding. As an AP Biology course, the structure is designed to be the equivalent of a college-level general biology course. This course has been built around the four big ideas and seven science practices published in the AP Biology Course and Exam Description.
