AP Biology Summer Assignment
Students must complete this assignment by the first week of school in September 2011. Students will receive a grade for the assignment and
they may be able to use this assignment on the first exam.
You must use the textbook to complete the assignment.
Be sure to explain concepts in your own words and the assignment must be handwritten.
The assignment is on my website, which can be accessed using the NHS High School homepage
You are expected to read chapters 6, and 26-34 and complete the attached assignment. Completion of this summer assignment allows us to
cover more of the material covered on the AP Biology exam. You are responsible for any information from the assigned reading, now or during
the school year.
Complete the Self quiz at the end of each chapter. After completing the questions, check your answers from the key in Appendix 1.
The assignment covers the Topic of Cells & Classification of Organisms
(Chapters 6 & Units 5 & 6)
I have read and understand the details of the AP Biology summer assignment for the summer of 2011. I understand that the work must be
completed individually. I understand that I can contact Ms. Procaccino via email during the summer if I have questions. I understand that I
will be tested on the summer assignment material during the first week of the 2011-2012 school year.
