Welcome to AP Biology!!
Introduction
Through this course you will develop a conceptual framework for modern biology emphasizing the understanding of science as a process rather than an accumulation of facts and be able to integrate the general topics of biology that you explore through a thematic approach including the four “Big Ideas” for AP Biology. We will also explore some the practical applications of this knowledge base and make important connections between science, technology and society. Through various readings, lectures, case studies, laboratories, virtual simulations, group projects, peer teaching activities and field trips you will be able to develop a conceptual framework of this discipline.
Course Goals:
- To increase your biological literacy – (i.e. your awareness and understanding of the thematic and conceptual framework of this dynamic discipline).
- To challenge you as a critical, analytical and creative thinker.
- To help prepare you for the A.P. Biology Exam in May-which can lead to receiving college credit.
- To hone your reading comprehension and scientific writing skills.
- To acquaint you with biological laboratory procedures and techniques.
