Course
Description
A highly specialized one-year program for
the qualified student whose future includes
university attendance with a possible major
in a scientific area related to biology.
The course is designed to prepare the participant
with a sufficient background to pass the
Advanced Placement Test in biology given
each May. Success on the exam will allow
the student to receive college credit. In
depth concentration on several topics including
cellular ultrastucture, genetics, biochemical
processes, biotechnology, comparative anatomy
and physiology, mechanisms of evolution,
embryonic development and man's essential
role with nature will be the thrust of the
program. This course will utilize live or
preserved animals or parts in the instructional
program.
Grading
Policy
AP Biology will be developing an understanding
of concepts rather than on memorizing terms
and technical details. Essential to this
conceptual understanding are the following:
a grasp of science as a process rather than
as an accumulation of facts; personal experience
in scientific inquiry; recognition of unifying
themes that integrate the major topics of
biology; and application of biological knowledge
and critical thinking to environmental and
social concerns.
