• ADVANCED PLACEMENT BIOLOGY

    This course is designed to be the equivalent of a two semester college introductory biology course for biology majors. It will prepare students to take the AP biology exam. Concept areas that will be addressed will include: Molecules and Cells, Heredity and Environment, and Organisms and Populations. Conceptual understanding and quantitative thinking will be emphasized in this laboratory-intensive class. AP courses can help you acquire the skills and habits you'll need to be successful in college.
