AP Biology
Course Overview
In AP Biology, an emphasis is placed on students making connections between the Big Ideas within the AP
Biology Curriculum Framework. This course is the equivalent of an introductory college-level biology course,
and it is designed to prepare students for the AP Biology Exam prepared by the College Board.
This is a yearlong course that meets five times weekly for 85-minutes each day. Approximately 60% of the
class time will be devoted to lecture and large group discussion on the 4 Big Ideas identified by the College
Board. Approximately 40% of the time will be used to conduct laboratory experiments, small group discussions
and other activities that further each students understanding of the Big Ideas. A minimum of two labs in each
Big Idea will be conducted. The student-directed and inquiry-based laboratory investigations used throughout
the course enable students to apply the seven science practices as defined by the College Board.
A course WIKI is located at wikispaces.com that includes a copy of the syllabus, link to the online text,
laboratory grading rubric, and a daily calendar (Google Calendar) of class activities along many other resources
to enhance the learning of all students. The Google Calendar identifies lecture topics, required readings, labs
and activities to be conducted, and assignment/assessment due dates.

Big Ideas
The following Big Ideas are stressed throughout each unit. In small group discussion sessions each group is
assigned a Big Idea and is required to relate the content from lecture and lab experiences to the assigned Big
Idea. This is done at the end of each unit prior to an assessment where each small group leads a discussion
related to the assigned theme. This serves as a review, preparing students for the unit exam. The following is
an example of what may be discussed during the unit of ecology.
Big idea 1: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.
a. Population changes over time are driven by environmental changes
Big idea 2: Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building
blocks to grow, to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
a. Interdependence between biotic and abiotic environmental factors that drive community changes
within changing habitats
Big idea 3: Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to
information essential to life processes.
a. Nucleic acid structure store and transfer heritable information from generation to generation
Big idea 4: Biological systems interact, and these systems and their
interactions possess complex properties.
a. Trophic level restrictions
