Description: Adhering to the curricula recommended by the College Board and designed to parallel college-level introductory biology courses, AP Biology courses emphasize four general concepts:  evolution; cellular processes (energy and communication); genetics and information transfer; and interactions of biological systems.  For each concept, these courses emphasize the development of scientific inquiry and reasoning skills, such as designing a plan for collecting data, analyzing data, applying mathematical routines, and connecting concepts in and across domains.  AP Biology courses include college-level laboratory investigations.
