AP Biology Summer Work
Welcome Students! We will be moving fast. We have a lot of content that needs to be covered. And
therefore you can not avoid to “dig a black hole”. I advise you to spend 5-6 hours a week. The
assignments are set in weekly modules with online weekly due dates to be submitted to me at
[email protected]. Read all of the material, complete your weekly flash cards, and use the
following web site for all of the “web assignments”www.biologyjunction.com./welcome_to_ap_biology. For the web assignments, scroll to Biochemistry
& then click on labs. You may use this web site to download any content to assist you through the
year. I also suggest that you purchase a copy of AP Biology by Barron.
Make sure that you have the following before you leave for the summer:
1. “AP Edition Biology” by Campbell:
2. Text Book CD “AP Edition Biology” by Campbell
3. All of your study guides, practice test, directions.
During the first week of school be prepared to complete the following:
a. “Organic Compounds” lab (2-3 days)
b. Unit One Test
Lastly, please use the following email address to communicate and to submit all web and computer
assignments. I expect to hear from you weekly, good or bad.
[email protected]
If you need “faster” help & I have not answered your email call me at home: 228-8574.
Have Fun & keep in touch. Remember, learning is all about experiences.
