Advanced Placement Biology

Course Number: #4713

 Scientists have determined much of what makes living things work at the cellular level, systems level, and the environmental level, yet many questions remain unanswered. This course examines what we know and what we don’t know about living things.  It also investigates the evidence supporting our ideas.  This course teaches all of the topics found in the first two freshman biology courses and the first two labs at a typical university.  Twelve AP labs are required.  It is strongly recommended that students taking AP Biology also take or have taken the AP Chemistry and Anatomy and Physiology courses.  Students will be prepared to take the Advanced Placement Biology exam in the spring.

Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry
