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.

Key Exam Details The AP® Biology exam is a 3-hour, end-of-course test comprised of 60 multiple-choice questions, for which you will have 1 hour and 30 minutes (this counts for 50% of your score) and 6 free- response questions, for which you will have 1 hour and 30 minutes (this counts for 50% of your score). The exam covers the following course content categories: • Chemistry of Life: 8–11% of test questions • Cell Structure and Function: 10–13% of test questions • Cellular Energetics: 12–16% of test questions • Cell Communication and Cell Cycle: 10–15% of test questions • Heredity: 8–11% of test questions • Gene Expression and Regulation: 12–16% of test questions • Natural Selection: 13–20% of test questions • Ecology: 10–15% of test questions This guide will offer an overview of the main tested subjects, along with sample AP multiple- choice questions that look like the questions you will see on test day. Chemistry of Life About 8–11% of the questionson your AP Biology exam will cover the topicChemistry of Life. Water and the Elements of Life Water is made of two hydrogen molecules covalently bonded to an oxygen molecule. The oxygen atom pulls most of the electrons in the water molecule toward it, giving it a slightly negative charge and the hydrogen atoms a slightly positive charge. Molecules like water that have distinct regions of charge based on bond structure are called polar compounds.
