Writing an essay, short free-response, long free-response, lab report, DBA or presentation? How do I make sure to avoid plagiarism?
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? This is any time that you use someone else's words, pictures, graphics, data and claim them as your own by either failing to quote or cite the information properly.
👉🏻HERE is a LOOM video that I made to try and assist with this idea more clearly. 👈🏻 PLEASE WATCH THIS!
Here are some valuable ideas to think about before submitting:
Is what you are writing entirely your own thoughts and words?
Could you write the paper/essay/presentation "with your eyes closed"?
Did you use or need to research other sources? REMEMBER this is a good skill to have and I highly encourage using your resources
Follow THIS really helpful flowchart guide from Purdue Owl Resources
When in doubt...CITE (at a minimum, you need to provide the website source, but MLA is great practice)
There are lots of great citation tools: Purdue OWL, EasyBib, CitationMachine
As an AP class there will be some labs that need to be completed with everyday materials and some that will have some virtual options as well.

Question 1—When you pour water into a narrow 25-mL graduated cylinder, a meniscus forms at the top of the water column. Use the structure of the water molecule, and the attractive forces in and between these molecules, to explain this observation.
Question 2—How does structure relate to the function of macromolecules? Describe the structure and function of carbohydrates.
Question 3—Describe the structure and function of carbohydrates.
Question 4—Describe the structure and function of proteins.
Question 5—Describe the structure and function of lipids.
Question 1—Each organelle in a eukaryotic cell has a unique structure and function that is important to the cell. What are the structural and functional distinctions between the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Question 2—Compare and contrast the structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Question 3—Describe the fluid mosaic model of cell membranes.
Question 4—How do the specific structures of the cell membrane determine what gets into the cell and what does not?
Question 5—What is the significance of diffusion and osmosis in the transport of materials across a cell membrane? Include a discussion of water potential in your answer.
Question 1—How is the basic functioning of enzymes affected by its shape, active sites and interaction with specific molecules and the environment?
Question 2—Describe the overall process of cellular respiration, and explain the role of NADH in this process.
Question 3—What are the reactant molecules in photosynthesis, and how do they reach the chloroplasts in leaves?
Question 4—Describe and compare the roles of CO2 and H2O in photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Question 5—A certain poison inhibits an enzyme involved in the Calvin cycle, preventing a cell from completing the Calvin cycle. Explain what effect, if any, this would have on the cell’s ability to complete the light reactions of photosynthesis. (Hint, if needed: Think about any molecules or ions that cycle back and forth between the light reactions and Calvin cycle)
Question 1—Describe at least one way cells communicate with each other via chemical messengers.
Question 2—What is the overall purpose of mitosis, and in what types of organisms does mitosis occur?
Question 3—What type of cell division occurs in bacteria? Describe it
Question 4—Describe what occurs in each of the stages of mitosis.
