Course Description

The AP Biology Curriculum is framed around four Big Ideas. The four big ideas in AP Biology are: Cells - Biological systems utilize energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain homeostasis, Genetics & Information Transfer - Living things store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes, Evolution - The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life, and Interactions - Biological systems interact and these interactions possess complex properties. Students will complete the recommended laboratories in the AP Biology Investigative Labs: An Inquiry-Based Approach. Lab reports are required for each of the recommended Inquiry-Based AP Biology Labs.
