- Description
-
AP biology is comparable to a first year college-level course that emphasizes developing an understanding of concepts and science as a process, recognizing unifying themes that integrate and apply critical thinking to environmental and social concerns, and using extensive laboratory experience to clarify underlying principles of biology. This rigorous course helps to prepare students for the Advanced Placement Examination, which is three hours in length and is administered in May. The laboratory work done by AP students is equivalent to work completed by college students and is an integral part of the course for deep understanding of concepts in unity and diversity among organisms, connections between form and function, genetics and evolutionary change, energy and matter essential for life, biochemistry, microbiology, and ecological interactions. Examples of topics include: molecules and cells, heredity and evolution, and organisms and populations. Students are to meet all relevant benchmarks in Biological Science (B.S.) Content Standards 1-5.
