AP Biology

AP Biology is a fast-paced, rigorous course in which students will explore a comprehensive study of the 8 major themes in Biology. It is designed as a college-level course. Students will be expected to spend 10-15 hours per week outside of class reading and staying up-to-date on the lecture materials. In this course, it is necessary for students to be self-motivated, highly disciplined, and responsible for their own learning. This course provides students with the opportunity to create and design many computer-based laboratory experiments as well as participate in many other hands-on activities. In addition, students will be exposed to advanced college-level laboratory techniques such as DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and gene manipulation.
