1 Advanced Placement Biology: Narrative: Through this course, you will study biology at a higher level than the pre-ap biology course you have taken previously. This course is recommended for those students who have high interest in biological topics ranging from the medical field to environmental studies. Your study will begin with macromolecules scaffolding your knowledge to a whole picture understanding of ecological concepts. Each unit of study will include an integration of the following themes: science as a process, evolution, energy transfer, continuity and change, relationships to structure and function, regulation, interdependence in nature and science, technology, and society. Although the content may change from the molecular level to whole organism study, these themes will be highlighted in each unit. Some examples of how these themes will be studied follow: Science as a process is seen in the methods scientists have experimented or tested possible hypothesis and supported by factual evidence. Evolution will be studied in separate chapters as well as throughout each unit. This includes the evolution or change of understanding over time, micro-evolution through embryonic development, as well as macro-evolution moving from one species to another. Energy Transfer is seen not only in food chains or life cycles on the organismal level but also the energy needed for cellular processes to continue to support the whole organism. Continuity and change because change is essential to maintain diversity and survival of a species. There are aspects of biology that must remain constant for the continuation of populations throughout the earth. Relationships to structure and function are studied from each aspect of biology, whether it is macromolecule structure and its function within a chemical reaction to the development of an animal s digestive tract and the nutritional needs of that animal. Regulation can be seen in the methods organisms and processes maintain homeostasis. Interdependence in nature is simply observed by the symbiosis plants have with nitrogen fixing bacteria. Not only are you looking at two organisms but also cycles that occur in nature to benefit organisms. Science, Technology, and Society has flourished in your life time. Through science and technology, not only have our lives become more automatic, but also the investigation of genetics in our criminal system, the understanding of genetic disorders, and the changes to farming procedures have greatly changed our society. There is also a lab portion of the course. There are twelve College Board required labs which include the following: (1) diffusion and osmosis, (2) Enzyme Catalysis, (3) Mitosis and Meiosis, (4) Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis, (5) Cellular Respiration, (6) Molecular Biology, (7) Genetics, (8) Population Genetics, (9) Whole Plant Transpiration, (10) Physiology of the Circulatory System, (11) Animal Behavior, (12) Dissolved Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity. You will find additional labs that we will cover throughout the syllabus. These labs will incorporate previously learned material from biology courses, physical science courses, chemistry courses as well as an integration of technology. Average: Your grade will be weighted by test, daily, and lab reports. Test grades will count as fifty percent of your total average. Tests grades will include research projects, research papers, and chapter tests. Daily work will count as thirty percent of your total average. Daily grades will homework, quizzes, and in-class assignments. Lab reports will count as twenty percent of your total average. Lab reports will include a type written report that highlights the following: Hypothesis Control Group or Baseline Independent Variable
2 Dependent Variable Constants Data analysis of experiment (with the appropriate graph) Conclusion (discussion of accepting or rejecting hypothesis based upon findings) Quizzes: Each week you will have a minimum of one quiz over the homework and in-class assignments. These quizzes will include questions in an AP style multiple choice format, short answer, or essay. Projects and Research Paper: During each nine weeks, you will be required to complete a research project or paper. All research papers or projects will include a bibliography page that is type written in 12 point font, Times New Roman, and MLA format. Other requirements of the paper or project will be included in the assignment and rubric. Semester Exam: Your semester exam will be comprehensive and will include 100 multiple choice questions and 2 essays. This exam will be in comparison of your AP biology exam. The type of questioning will include themes of biology. It is essential that you learn the units we cover from varying view points and degrees of application. Complete Bibliography: 1.
