AP Biology
Prerequisites: Senior and have taken Biology and Chemistry - minimum grade of B

AP Biology is designed to be the equivalent to an introductory college biology course taken by biology majors during their first year of college. AP Biology differs significantly from introductory biology with respect to the textbook, range and depth of topics, kinds of laboratory work, and time and effort done by students. The class is designed to accumulate facts and gain a conceptual understanding of biology. You must be able to apply critical thinking skills to environmental and bio-social concerns. The class will be structured for taking the AP exam in May.
