| 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 & |
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 |
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 |

| Class 1 | Discuss test structure |
Do the 2016 Practice Exam (Review Binder pages 133 - 176- multiple choice and calculation problems only). You may use resources if necessary to determine your answers. Write your answers on a scantron; put the calculation answers on the grid sheet (Review Binder page 9). Here is the look of the AP Bio Test Booklet (2013) |
| Lab 1 | No School; Break
|

Do the following: Come with a list of topics that you are least sure of. Go through your text book, your notes, your lab manual, your binders. What do you remember the least? Write the list down and give it to me tomorrow. I'll use it to plan the things we will cover on Friday. |
| Class 3 | AP Bio Lab Review Meeting Time: |
Do the 2017 Practice Exam ALONE, NO RESOURCES & TIMED, 90 minutes!! (review Book pages 75 - 115; multiple choice AND calculation problems; not the essays) Write your answers on a scantron & grid page (Review Book page 11). |
| NEXT WEEK: Be Hardcore Bio |
Check out some of the review videos below. Try any remaining AP Exams I have given you. Study with a friend; ask one another questions. Sleep well Sunday night! Look at the remaining AP Bio Tests 2013 and 2012 (answers will be distributed) |
| Review Resources | Mr. Anderson goes over the new AP labs (Part 1 and Part 2) Mr. Anderson reviews: Homeostasis, Natural Selection, Speciation, Cell Communication, Some Free AP Bio Review Questions at https://www.learnerator.com (can also purchase an upgrade) and their new (2016) upgrade: https://www.albert.io/ap-biology Math Bench - Biology Modules Mr. Knuffle's Review Powerpoints - Nice Syntheses: Evolution, Matter, Energy, Information, Regulation, Communication, Interactions |
|
| Week 34: May 6 - 10 (Bahe at Biology DreYland) - Prepare on your own |
| Week 35: May 13 AP Bio test has finally arrived!! |
Mon., May 13 |
AP BIOLOGY EXAM 7:45 am -- in the ?????????? Room Be on time - in fact, BE EARLY!! Bring pencils, pens and a watch!! Bring a good calculator and extra batteries. Bring a snack for the break time. |
Good Luck!! |
