Advanced Placement Biology
This course meets every day for 1 semester and every other day the other semester. Advanced Placement (AP) Biology is a rigorous and demanding course, which is the equivalent to a two-semester college introductory biology course. The key concepts and related content that define AP Biology are organized around the four Big Ideas, which encompass the core scientific principles, theories and processes governing living organisms and biological systems. The Big Ideas include evolution, cellular processes, genetics and information transfer, and interactions between biological systems. This laboratory-based course will emphasize science practices, which allow students to combine biology content with inquiry and reasoning skills. Students who successfully complete this course will be prepared for the AP Biology Examination and the study of advanced topics in subsequent college courses. Students may choose to participate in the CU Succeed Gold Program and earn 8 college semester credits for General Biology.
