The AP Biology online course prepares high school students to take the AP exam to gain college credit. The topics covered in the course include biochemistry, cell structure and function, cell energetics, cellular reproduction and communication, heredity, molecular genetics, evolution, ecology, diversity of organisms, structure and function of plants and animals, and comparative anatomy.
Description
Outline
Materials
The AP Biology course is a very challenging and time-intensive course designed for students who are interested in pursuing science in college and/or as a career. This course is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester college level biology course usually taken by biology majors in their freshman year. It provides students with an opportunity to develop a conceptual framework for modern biology, emphasizing applications of biological knowledge and critical thinking to environmental and social concerns. As a college-level course, students will be held to high expectations and mature responsibilities just like a college freshman. The course focuses on science process skills and application of factual information. As such, students should be self-motivated and be able to work both independently and collaboratively to solve science-related problems.
This course is designed to prepare students to be successful on the AP Biology exam. AP exam scores can earn the student college credit for the course. Because the AP Biology exam requires students to hand draw graphs—students are required to use: online graphing tools, spreadsheet graphing tools (ie. Excel), AND hand drawn graphs to illustrate data.
All instruction is provided for the student either in the course or in the textbook. Instructors provide focused, constructive feedback for each lab or authentic assignment, as well as for each exam. The teacher is available throughout the week, and the student is able to receive one-on-one support and help in whatever capacity they need.
Because this class is presented in an online format, the pace and schedule varies slightly from student to student from within the course, but we have a definitive fall start and definitive spring end date so that students are finished the course prior to taking their exam.
