AP Biology v3.0

*Materials Required* Through exploration and discovery of the phenomenon at the core of each lesson, students will be guided to answer their own questions and be able to discuss the phenomenon in ways that reflect sound scientific practices. Biology is presented as a living process, one that carries a body of current understandings and a method of building on those understandings to either deepen them or replace them with better explanations. In particular, we will explore these eight themes identified as the focus for AP-level Biology instruction:

• Science as a Process
• Evolution
• Energy Transfer
• Continuity and Change
• Relationship of Structure to Function
• Regulation
• Interdependence in Nature
• Science, Technology, and Society
