Biology - AP


Course Description:
This is the equivalent of a two semester introductory college biology course. This course is a rigorous and deeper study of biology with an emphasis in science practices. The class centers on the four big ideas of biology: evolution drives the diversity and unity of life, biological systems utilize free energy to maintain life, living systems store information essential to life processes in their genes, and biological systems interact in complex ways. It is not required but it is highly recommended that students wishing to take this course also take Anatomy and Physiology prior to it. This class is based on the AP College Board approved standards.
