AP Biology

AP Biology is designed to be the equivalent of a first-year introduction college biology course. AP Biology is designed for students who have successfully completed foundation courses in biology and chemistry. This course aims to provide students with the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology. At least 25% of instructional time is dedicated to hands-on laboratory investigations. Students are expected to take the AP Biology examination in May. With a satisfactory score, students may be eligible to receive some credit for college-level biology.
