AP Biology

AP Biology is equivalent to a two-semester introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes, energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. Twenty-five percent of the instructional time is spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply science practices. Students are encouraged to sit for the college board’s advanced placement biology examination.

Prerequisites and other notes: 

  • Biology and Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology. 

  • Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology may be taken concurrently with AP Biology.
