(10-12) - Credit: 1.0
Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry 1. Sophomores in AP Bio should have earned an 'A' or 'B' in both Biology and Chemistry as a freshman.
This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course. The two main goals of AP Biology are to help students develop a conceptual framework for contemporary biology and to appreciate science as a process. The four main areas of content are: molecules and cells, heredity, evolution, and organisms and populations. Written explanations of concepts in these areas through essays, formal lab reports and experimental designs are emphasized. Completion of a summer assignment is required.
