1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT BIOLOGY Alamo Heights High School SCOPE AND SEQUENCE COURSE OVERVIEW This AP Biology course has been designed to fulfill the curricular requirements set forth by the College Board by ensuring that the four Big Ideas (the process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life; biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis; living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes; biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties) are the central focus lasting throughout the entire year. This task is accomplished by integrating the designated Understandings, Essential Knowledge statements, and Learning Objectives that support each of the four Big Ideas. [CR2] The concept of evolution is continuously emphasized throughout the course to make certain that the students recognize the interrelationship between biological topics. [CR2, CR3a, CR4a, CR4b, CR4c, CR4d] The course meets every day for 50 minutes with each class spent in either lecture/discussion or a laboratory setting. Throughout each class period, an emphasis is placed on delivering the information to students in a manner that supports the concept of science being a process rather than an accumulation of facts. [CR2] This is accomplished with discussion based lecturing, critical thinking activities (manipulatives and hands- on mini- labs), and the inquiry based laboratory component that fulfills the objectives as listed in the Curriculum Framework (minimum of 25 percent of instructional time). [CR7] Students will conduct a minimum of eight inquiry- based investigations (two per Big Idea throughout the course with an emphasis placed on the seven science practices defined by the AP Curriculum Framework. [ Upon completion of each laboratory experiment, students will be evaluated based on a formal lab report (introduction, methods, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion) which will provide the opportunity to develop their verbal, written and graphic communication skills. [CR8] Oral and graphic presentations will also be required following selected laboratory experiments. [CR8] On average, two field trips are scheduled during the year in order to expose the students to current research occurring at local facilities and a chance to conduct scientific experimentation in a natural setting (State Parks). [CR2 and CR7] With the ever- changing science of biology, an emphasis is placed on the application of biological knowledge and critical thinking to environmental and social concerns by having the students participate in current events, special readings, and independent research projects. [CR5] Units of instruction are assessed with AP style exams (multiple choice questions, with 5 answer choices, and free- response questions), projects, and presentations. Laboratory experiments are assessed with formal lab reports, pre- lab and post- lab quizzes, and questions on the unit exam. INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES Campbell, Neil A. and Reece, Jane B.
