Hi Carbon Units:)
Thought I would share the update from College Board about the AP Exam so you know as much as I do- link to latest update.
Miss you and your genomes!!! - Mr. R
Monday-Friday
Greeting carbon units! Hope you are well. Just checking with you for the week.
As you know from the reading pacing guide, the reading assignment for this week is Chapter 16 (Development, stem cells and cancer) from Campbell. Some of the content should tie into the HHMI "Click and learn" lesson you did on the p53 gene earlier in the year.
Next week's chapter is chapter 17 (Viruses)- great timing eh?
The plan for this week was to run the P-glo lab, which ties into one of the required investigations for the AP Biology course: Investigation 8: Biotechnology; Bacteria Transformation.
To acquaint you with this investigation I would:
Here is a link to a great video tutorial of gene switches in stickleback fish.
It is state policy not to attach a grade to any of the new material (student equity). According to my survey all AP Bio students have on-line access. Please pass on this update to other AP Bio students.
Also for the upcoming registration for classes, here is a presentation for the amazing science elective courses we have to offer, based on student enrollment/interest. You should be doubling up on science next year:)
Science Course Offerings for 2020/2021 Academic Year
Here is a presentation that I was going to give on Friday on Science Course offerings. Please review to see all of the science elective courses that you can sign up for. Check prerequisites. If you have any further questions please contact Mr. Rapin by e.mail: [email protected]

Next weeks plan will be posted on Monday. Be well!- Mr. Rapin

To acquaint you with this investigation I would:
- read pages 97-98 "Background information" from your AP Biology Investigative Lab Manual.
- read through and be able to conceptually understand the investigation procedure and design described in the student P-glo manual (PDF attached below).
- go over the Power Point I developed to review key concepts and laboratory technique to be used for in the lab. Understand how the operon works in this lab. The summary of this lab is also at the end of the Cliffs Book (under lab investigations)
