College Board AP Biology4 Big Ideas:1: Evolution
The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. 2: Cellular Processes, Energy & Communication Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow, to reproduce, and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. 3: Genetics & Information Transfer Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes. 4: Interactions Biological systems interact, and these systems and their interactions possess complex properties Lab Notebooks & College Credit Colleges may require students to present their laboratory materials from AP science courses before granting college credit for laboratory, so students are encouraged to retain their laboratory notebooks, reports, and other materials. 7 Science Practices:1: Use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems.
2: Use mathematics appropriately. 3: Engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide scientific investigations. 4: Plan and implement data collection strategies appropriate to particular scientific questions. 5: Perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. 6: Work with scientific explanations and theories. 7: Connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains. AP Credit Policy Search for various Colleges & UniversitiesFor example: Northern Michigan University (NMU) offers credit for passing the AP Biology Exam with a score of 3 or higher. The credit offered by NMU is for two courses, totaling 8 credits. At current NMU undergraduate credit costs, passing the AP Biology can save a student $3176 for Michigan residents and $5008 for nonresidents - AND place him/her in higher-level courses.
By comparison: Michigan Technological University (MTU) - a university very near NMU - offers credit for passing the AP Biology Exam with a score of 4 or higher. The credit offered by MTU for a score of 4 is for one course, totaling 4 credits. If a student scores a 5 on the AP Biology test, then credit is offered for two courses totaling 8 credits - AND place him/her in higher-level courses.
