The AP Biology course is designed to enable you to develop advanced inquiry and reasoning skills, such as designing a data-collection plan, analyzing data, applying mathematical routines, and connecting concepts within and across domains. The AP Biology course is designed as an inquiry-based course in which students are expected to take ownership of their learning, while the teacher serves as a guide on the path to understanding. This is a rigorous course; extensive laboratory and mathematical work, as well as out-of-class reading, are required. This course also includes a summer assignment.
