What Will Be Taught? This AP Biology prep course covers key topics from Units 1-8, providing a thorough review of the material to ensure students are well-prepared for the AP exam. We will focus on core biological concepts, along with the application of those concepts through AP-style multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and free-response questions (FRQs). Topics Covered: Unit 1: Chemistry of Life Unit 2: Cell Structure and Function Unit 3: Cellular Energetics Unit 4: Cell Communication and Cell Cycle Unit 5: Heredity Unit 6: Gene Expression and Regulation Unit 7: Natural Selection Unit 8: Ecology Each unit will be revisited in depth to ensure clarity, with special attention to areas frequently tested on the AP exam. Class Structure: Session Length: 1.5 to 2 hours per session. Frequency: Weekly or bi-weekly sessions, depending on your preference. Duration: 8 weeks total. Each class will begin with a brief review of the previous session’s material to ensure retention. The majority of the class time will focus on new content, followed by interactive AP-style questions, group discussions, and Q&A time. How Will You Teach? I will teach through a combination of: Lectures: Clear and structured explanations of each concept. Interactive Discussions: I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, allowing them to think critically about the material. AP-Style Practice: Students will practice multiple-choice and free-response questions during each class to build their test-taking skills and familiarity with exam formatting. Teaching Style: My teaching style is student-centered and designed to be engaging and comprehensive. I focus on: Breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces. Encouraging active participation through discussions and targeted questioning. Ensuring that students understand the 'why' and 'how' behind biological concepts, not just memorizing facts. Student Interaction: Students will have multiple opportunities to engage with me throughout the class. Interaction will include: Q&A Time: After every section, I will allow students to ask questions and clarify any doubts. Discussion: We will discuss key concepts and practice questions as a group, where students can voice their opinions and learn from each other. Interactive Slides and Visuals: I will use slides, diagrams, and videos to help visualize complex processes and make the content more engaging. Practice Questions: Students will complete questions individually and then discuss the answers together to reinforce learning.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will gain a deep understanding of key topics from AP Biology Units 1-8, including the chemistry of life, cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology, and will apply these concepts to real-world scenarios and experimental data interpretation
Students will refine their ability to answer AP-style multiple-choice and free-response questions (MCQs and FRQs). They will improve critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management strategies to perform well on the AP Biology exam.

Orientación para padres
Sensitive Topics:
Some AP Biology topics, such as genetic modification, evolution, and human biology, may touch on sensitive issues for some families. These topics will be discussed from a scientific perspective, but if any student has concerns, they are encouraged to ask questions or raise concerns during class.
Media Content:
Video Clips and Diagrams: The class may use short video clips and diagrams to explain concepts like cell processes, human anatomy, and evolution. All media content will be age-appropriate and aligned with AP Biology standards.
Rating: Any media used in class will be G or PG-rated and carefully reviewed for educational relevance.
Third-Party Tools:
If we use any online tools (e.g., interactive quizzes or flashcards), families will be informed ahead of time. Most tools will not require student accounts, but I will ensure privacy and safety guidelines are followed.
Safety:
Since this is an online course, there are no specific safety precautions required for lab work or experiments. All activities will be conducted virtually with no hands-on elements unless explicitly stated.
