  • Should I Sign up for AP Latin IV?
    Should I Sign Up for AP Latin IV? 1 AP LATIN COURSE DESCRIPTION The AP Latin course is designed to give you the experiences needed to be successful on the College Board AP Latin exam scheduled in early May each year. This course will [1] help you develop your ability to translate the required passages from Caesar’s De bello Gallico and Vergil’s Aeneid into English as literally as possible, [2] help you understand the context of the written passages through analysis and be able to communicate that context and analysis, [3] help you understand style of writing and the rhetorical devices employed. By the end of AP Latin IV you will have translated all the Latin of Vergil and Caesar assigned by the College Board. You will learn to analyze the text and draw your own logical conclusions in written essays. You will both give and receive written criticism of your analytical essays throughout the course. You will read Latin prose and poetry aloud with accurate comprehension and appreciation. For the Vergil text, you will scan dactylic hexameter verse. You will practice AP style exam questions and sight passages during both semesters and complete a full “mock up” exam as the final exam in the second semester of the course. 1.1 SPECIFICS The class meets on Thursdays at 1 Pm ET You must make your own arrangements to take the exam at your local testing facility. Yes, this is a College Board approved syllabus and course. You can list it on your transcript as an AP Latin course, come what may.

  • AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology Is an Introductory
    AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes – energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. Laboratory Requirement: This course requires that 25 percent of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply the science practices. Prerequisites: Students should have successfully completed high school courses in biology and chemistry. More information can be found on the AP Biology Course Overview Website. AP Calculus AB AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. Students will also learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. Recommended Prerequisites: All students should complete the equivalent of four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students: courses which should prepare them with a strong foundation in reasoning with algebraic symbols and working with algebraic structures. Prospective calculus students should take courses in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. More information can be found on the AP Calculus AB Course Overview website.

  • About the Class Mr. Zimny Course Description AP Biology Is An
    AP Biology - About The Class Mr. Zimny Course Description AP Biology is an introductory year long college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes — energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. This course follows the College Board Advanced Placement syllabus and students must take the national college board exam in May. Successfully passing the AP Biology Exam is meant to take the place of two 4 credit college level lab science general biology classes. It is typically recommended to college students that they spend 6 hours a week in the classroom/ laboratory and an additional 6 to 9 hours outside of class studying per week for each of these two classes. Prerequisites for this class are an (A) Average in General Biology & an (A or B) average in General Chemistry Big Ideas The AP Biology curriculum framework is divided into broad groups of concept that run throughout most of biology called Big Ideas; they are supported by additional themes and concepts as articulated in the learning objectives. Big Idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. Big Idea 2: ​ ​ Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Big Idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life ​ processes. Big Idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess ​ complex properties. Science Practices The AP Biology Exam also asks students to develop and use certain scientific practices in the effort to model actual, genuine scientific research.

To attain a broad background, all students should complete at least three years of science including one course each in biology, chemistry, and physics. If these three core courses are completed by the end of junior year, students have maximized their opportunities to do well on standardized tests, such as SAT, and will be prepared for further study of science during their senior year. An important component of all science courses is laboratory work. Laboratory work gives students direct contact with the material studied in the course, develops lab skills, increases a student’s understanding of how science actu- ally works, and helps the student develop analysis, interpretation, and synthesizing skills. Science Sequences Th ere are many science sequences that students may select because of their interests and career plans. Th e sequences shown below are intended to provide a solid background in science and not restrict students in their choices.

  • AP/CTE Sample Course Sequences
    Advanced Placement (AP) and CTE Course Sequence Exemplar Advanced Placement and CTE Course Sequence Exemplar The Office of Career and Technical Education and Student Transition, working with the College Board, has developed example course sequences that incorporate both Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. In planning secondary to postsecondary programs of study, local school districts, College Board and partnering postsecondary institutions shall work together to ensure programs of study are aligned and implemented to meet the specialized needs of business and industry and meet the goals of the student's individual learning plan. Special Note: *AP courses may not be aligned to Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS). AP, International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge International (CAI) courses are considered college level courses that exceed the minimum KAS and therefore are not aligned. *In order for a district to determine if an AP course can be substituted for a high school graduation requirement, identified by 704 KAR 3:305, a local board of education can examine the possibility of substituting an integrated, applied, interdisciplinary, occupational, technical, or higher level course for a required course if the alternative course provides rigorous content and addresses the same applicable components of 703 KAR 4:060. *The following course sequences were built based on a seven-period day. *The Kentucky Department of Education is covering the cost of AP exams for disadvantaged students who qualify for free/reduced lunch for the 2019- 2020 school year. *The Computer Science/Information Technology (CS/IT) Academy at the Kentucky Department of Education is covering the cost of AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A exams.
