- Description
-
AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes — energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions.(College Board, 2017) The AP Biology course is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester college introductory biology course. The class is designed for students who have taken both biology and chemistry. Students who do
well on the AP biology exam may qualify for college credit and/or may be exempt from taking freshman-level biology courses depending on their college or university.
Big Idea 1 (Evolution – EVO): The process of evolution
drives the diversity and unity of life.
Big Idea 2 (Energetics – ENE): Biological systems utilize
free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to
reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Big Idea 3 (Information Storage and Transmission – IST):
Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to
information essential to life processes.
Big Idea 4 (Systems Interactions – SYI): Biological systems
interact, and these systems and their interactions possess
complex properties Room 228 AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course.

Due:
Enrichment Videos: The History Of Earth
This is an enrichment activity and will not be graded in any way for you guys.
Please review the following videos, if you want to save time over the school year feel free to take some notes on them. The purpose of this is to make sure that you have a passing familiarity with geologic time, ecology, and the natural history of Earth. Each video has a question in the digital worksheet to accomplish. There are a couple of questions on each video and they will be due the second day of school when we have a very brief discussion on the topic. I tried to pick videos that were informative and somewhat entertaining, and not just a series of articles to read.
Total runtime of all videos is 90 min or one and a half hours.

Distance Learning Day 12.
On Thursday 5/12 we will be conducting the session starting at 9:45am on Zoom. Do not attempt to contact me on Zoom as I will be posting a link. The common parts of the session will be recorded and the recording will be made available if you need to review or are unable to attend the recorded session due to technology conflict; however, the breakout rooms will not.
You will need the following:
>Chromebook (CHARGED!)
>Note Book
>Pencil
We will be reviewing:
>Unit 4 Key Concepts
If you are having difficulty accessing the Zoom live video call and/or the recorded video, please email me immediately. We will figure this out together! Also, you will be provided the opportunity to say hello to your classmates via audio/video if you want to, so please plan accordingly. Even though we're working from outside the school, school rules and norms still apply.
We will be discussing what is due and the directions in the session, but there will be questions on AP Classroom for you to complete before Saturday at 11:59pm. The assignment is called Unit 5 Review and is in the AP lockdown browser.
Due to zoombombing and security your video will be live when you first join the session. Once you have joined and have been acknowledged then you may turn off your video.
Joseph Navarro is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
