Students must be already enrolled in the regular Biology course to attend this small-enrollment chat session where we will review scientific methodology as applied to biology, discuss laboratory work required for the course and AP credit, and cover key topics greater depth. Students may take diagnostic exams and complete extra essay work preparation for the May AP Biology Examination. This course has been approved as meeting the AP requirements and will be listed as an AP course on student transcripts.
This course is taught using the Scholars Online Chat software, which allows the teacher to embed graphics, mathematical equations, and movies in the chat session, with complete logging available for the entire year. Audio software is not used to allow students with limited internet access to participate fully, and to encourage precise thinking and writing skills.
Prerequisites
Concurrent enrollment in the regular Biology course. Prior life science at the junior high level or high school level covering cells, basic concepts of heredity, anatomy, and ecology.
Recommended background
Students should have some prior background in life science and be able to work independently.
Teacher's notes:
Class meetings will be arranged to fit into students' schedules. Please read through my SAT and AP Examination overview before deciding to take this option. Also consult the College Board AP Site to learn more about expectations for the examination.
Textbooks and Materials
This item is required:
AP Biology Lab Manual for Students , Authors: The College Board

Other information: You can and should look at several AP preparation texts before choosing one; I happen to like this one the best. Find some issue that you know a little about or that confuses you and read the explanations in Barron's, REA, Princeton Review or other AP preparation text, then pick the one that makes the most sense AND has several practice exams.
