  • 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.

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.

  • Advanced Placement Courses
    West High School Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Placement American Government AP American Government is an intensive study of the American national government. The goals of this course are to increase understanding of the American political system, including its framework, traditions and values. The course is concerned with the nature of the American political system, its development over the past 200 plus years, and how it continues to function into its third century. The principal processes and institutions through which the political system functions, as well as some of the public policies which these institutions implement, are studied in detail. Advanced Placement Art History AP Art History is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as those provided by an introductory college course in art history, namely an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within historical and cultural contexts. In the course, students examine major forms of artistic expression from the past and present and from a variety of cultures. They learn to look at works of art critically, with intelligence and sensitivity, and to articulate what they see or experience. Advanced Placement Art Studio AP Art Studio is a rigorous college-level program intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Study areas and directions are mutually agreed upon. Students keep sketchbooks, write essays, and develop their ability to talk about their art. Students submit a digital portfolio to the College Board of Examination Committee. Advanced Placement Biology AP Biology is a challenging and stimulating course equivalent to a two semester college introductory biology course.

  • In What Year of High School Should Students Take AP Biology? Depending on the Program Sequence, Most Students Enroll in AP Biology During Their Junior Or Senior Year
    In what year of high school should students take AP Biology? Depending on the program sequence, most students enroll in AP Biology during their junior or senior year. Since a first course in biology and a first course in chemistry are often prerequisites, this allows time for completion of those courses and also gives students time to gain math and laboratory skills. However, there are some schools that teach AP Biology at the sophomore level with no introductory biology course and highly motivated students have been very successful. The most important factor in student success seems to be maturity and motivation. Juniors often outperform seniors, especially as graduation time nears and "senioritis" sets in. -- Carolyn Schofield What course prerequisites should exist for students wishing to take AP Biology? Schools vary in their course prerequisites: Most consider Biology I to be a prerequisite, though some highly selective schools teach AP as the first and only course for their gifted sophomores. Completion of, or at least concurrent enrollment in, chemistry is an almost universal requirement. Many schools feel this ensures a certain level of maturity and helps students during difficult biochemistry sections. Some schools require that all three first-year science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics) be completed before a student may enroll in any AP science class. In doing so, their aim is to ensure basic competence before specialization. -- AP Program How much math does a student need before taking AP Biology? Math is a vital part of any science course, but trigonometry and calculus are definitely not mandatory. The following mathematical skills seem to be most helpful in the AP Biology course: algebra and geometry basics, rate and percent calculations, knowledge of scientific notation, basic probability that can be applied to statistical analysis, and knowledge of graphing (setup of axes and plotting of data).
