Question 1

What will I learn in AP Biology (Double Block)?

Accepted Answer

The course is designed in accordance with the AP course descriptions. It is a double block course with a lecture and lab requirement. The lecture component focuses on developing conceptual and factual knowledge surrounding the four big ideas which include: the process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life, biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain dynamic homeostasis, living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes, and biological systems interact and these interactions possess complex properties. Additional topics will be discussed at appropriate points throughout the year. Debates and class discussions will accompany the lecture component throughout the course. Topics to be discussed and debated include: the role of the carbon cycle in global warming, fact and fictional statements of health, nutrition, and fitness, genetic and business strategies in the horticultural industry, drug resistant bacteria, and biotechnologies promise and myths. These topics for extended discussion will allow the students to use critical thinking skills to address environmental and social concerns. We will also take time at the end of the discussion to propose logical solutions to the problems. The laboratory component is designed to allow the student to understand experimental design and to develop problem solving skills. Approximately 25% of the AP biology class is dedicated to laboratory work. This includes meeting the objectives of the 8 laboratories that have been developed by the AP biology development committee. The overall goal of this course is twofold. First the course equips students with scientific laboratory skills and methods of inquiry. Second, the course brings into the light the four big ideas of biology so the students can apply science in their lives by making correct decisions in their community.
