Insert Dividers into binder (See above box for pages # on units) Look thru Binder 7-46 just to see what's there. Optional: Don't let this happen to you! I'm here to help!
**Use your text as a reference. Much of the Biology content of the course will be discussed in class and your text will serve to help explain that content in another way. You may read the content before or after class; you will never have a "pop quiz" on a night's reading but sometimes you will be expected to be ready to discuss the reading in classs.

RESOURCES FOR AP BIOLOGY
Textbook	Campbell's Biology in Focus, 2nd Edition, published in 2017. Sections indicated from the syllabus are from this text. Students need not bring their texts to class unless specifically asked to do so. Students can also access the text online. Use the text as a resource to explain the topics discussed in class and lab.
Study Guide & Reading Guides	Study guide to accompany Campbell's Biology in Focus, 1st edition. Specific sections from each chapter will be noted on the syllabus. In addition, students will find a wealth of study aids on the webite that accompanies Campbell's Biology in Focus, located here.
Lab Manual	AP Biology Investigative Labs (published by the College Board) plus numerous addtional labs described in handouts in the class binder. Updates to the first edition are available here. The HHMI guide to statistics is extremely helpful and so are these powerpoints on statistics from ilovebiology.net.
Lab Results &Notebook	Students will keep a record of their laboratory work in their notebook/binder, including all raw data collection and documentation of their laboratory investigations. Students will also be writing formal lab reports and data analysis on most of their investigations.
Syllabus Canvas	Students will use the syllabus below for both daily and long term asssignments. Due dates and specific details may be adjusted during class. Reading assignments should be completed before class, although "pop quizzes" will never be given. Some students find reading more helpful after having heard discussion of the topics. The textbook should be used as just one of many available resources to help clarify concepts. Often a short (5-15 minute) video clip or two is offered to present the content in addition to the text.
Binder	Students will receive both a Fall Binder, a Spring Binder and a Review binder. These binders should be brought to class and lab everyday. They contain diagrams, handouts, worksheets, lab descriptions, practice problems, and other useful materials for the efficient flow of class. Students should add their own notes directly to this binder. Binder Pages as PDFs
Reading About Biology	Here are just a few resources with current articles about biology: Science in the Classroom from the Journal Science. Other sources for free journal articles: Directory of Open Access Journals Free Medical Journals PubMed Central: Free journal articles PLOS or Public Library of Science and http://www.plosbiology.org/home.action The Scientist Science News Annotated Science papers from Science Sigma Xi SmartBrief New York Times Science (10 free articles accessed per month) Listening to Science Raps and Rhymes: Science with Tom
