AP® Biology

Accelerated students explore science as a process of inquiry and investigation. The course is designed in three modules, with correlating laboratory exercises: molecules and cells, heredity and the theory of evolution, and organisms and populations. Within these modules, students learn about energy transfer, continuity and change in the biological world, and relations between the structure and function of living things. They also analyze the interdependence of the elements of nature and the ways in which science must seek to preserve a balance between technology and nature. Students prepare for the AP® Exam by modeling the thought processes and critical-thinking skills required to answer questions on the exam. The content aligns to the sequence of topics recommended by the College Board.
