Warm Up Question:
Read the statement below and consider the following questions. Talk it through with your neighbor.
§ In order to conduct an experiment you need to know whether the width of the palm across the inside of the knuckles is significantly different in females and males?
§ (a) How would you determine this?
§ (b) What do you have to consider?

§ We are in this together – part of larger AP Community
§ Share information about ourselves.
§ Understand that no question is a bad question.
§ Be flexible, we may need to change direction as the workshop progresses.
§ We’ll try to meet the expectations of each of you individually, while fulfilling the needs of the group.
§ Complete a lot of labs and activities and share best practices – lessen anxieties
§ We’ll have time to reflect
12
Norm Setting

What is AP Biology?
§ It is a college level, introductory biology course. – Built around inquiry based labs. Inquiry Cubes;
Magic Hooey Sticks
§ Have realistic goals for all of your students. – Supplement the course with experiences that will help
students when they get to college. – Build in expectations that the students should encounter
when they get to college.
§ Do your best and don’t be afraid to reach out to colleagues when you need help.
§ We’re all in this together--build your network.

The New AP Biology
4 Big Ideas: 1. The process of evoluBon drives the diversity and unity of life. 2. Biological systems uBlize energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain homeostasis. 3. Living systems retrieve, transmit, and respond to informaBon essenBal to life processes. 4. Biological systems interact, and these interacBons possess complex properBes.
Core Concepts
Testable explanaBons and predicBons: The New AP Biology Exam
13 New Laboratory InvesBgaBons
The new curriculum framework supports Essen%al Knowledge with Science Prac%ce
Science PracBces: 1. The student can use representaBons and models to communicate scienBfic phenomena and solve scienBfic problems. 2. The student can use mathemaBcs appropriately. 3. The student can engage in scienBfic quesBoning to extend thinking or to guide invesBgaBons within the context of the AP course. 4. Student can plan and implement data collecBon strategies in relaBon to a parBcular scienBfic quesBon. 5. The student can perform data analysis and evaluaBon of evidence. 6. The student can work with scienBfic explanaBons and theories. 7. The student can connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representaBons in and across domains.
