RESOURCES FOR AP BIOLOGY
Textbook Campbell's Biology in Focus, 3rd Edition, published in 2019. 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 &
Reading Guides

Study guide to accompany Campbell's Biology in Focus. Specific sections from each chapter will be noted on the syllabus. In addition, students will find a wealth of study aids on the website that accompanies Campbell's Biology in Focus.
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.
Lab Results 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

Canvas

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.
