Welcome! AP biology is a college level course for junior and senior high school students.  The course content follows the suggested outline for a typical college biology course.  AP biology covers the main biological principals and processes which include the following BIG IDEAS:

1)The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.   

2) Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.  

3) Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes.  

4) Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties.   

 

AP Biology aims to provide students with the conceptual framework and analytical skills necessary to understand and asses the rapidly growing science of biology.  This is a laboratory course in which students will collect and analyze data, then write complete scientific lab reports.  Labs are a very important method of learning science as a process.
