Course Description
The primary objective of the Pre-AP Biology course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of modern biology and scientific processes, building a foundation for success in the college-level AP courses to follow.
Pre-AP Biology places a high priority on developing critical-thinking skills by examining real-world problems. The Pre-AP curriculum examines topics with greater depth and includes advanced resource materials. Lab investigations play a prominent role in the course and are more sophisticated than in the regular curriculum. Students are expected to design and carry out experiments using appropriate methods. Students are ultimately responsible for their own learning; therefore, they should be organized, prepared, and motivated to learn every day.
