AP Biology I

Description:Welcome to the NROC Advanced Placement (AP) Biology course. This curriculum covers all of the material outlined by the College Board as necessary to prepare students to pass the AP Biology exam. This course is designed to acquaint you with the general concepts of life including reproduction, balance in nature, and the nature of living things. You will focus on three broad sections that align with the goals for the AP exam: Molecules and Cells, Heredity and Evolution, and Organisms and Populations.

Upon completion of this course you will:

Understand the conceptual framework for biology
Recognize science as a process
Be able to apply biological knowledge to environmental concerns
Recognize unifying themes that integrate major topics of biology

The resources contained here are intended for individual use only. If you would like access to NROC content for classroom or institutional use, please visit NROC here to find out more about NROC in the classroom.
