About

Are you taking AP Biology this year? Are you self-studying for the exam? Or...do you have a genuine fascination for the Life Sciences? Do you want a FIVE?!?

WELCOME!
This series will explore the foundational concepts from AP® Biology course, giving students a smoother transition into a rigorous, college-leveled course. Emphasis on MCQ/FRQ practice to help you succeed in your AP class and the exam.

SESSION STRUCTURE
1. Guided Lecture and Applications (30-45 min.)
2. Big Ideas and Q&A
3. Problem Set (9 MCQs, 1 short FRQ)
4. Optional Homework and Review Games (Jeopardy, Blooket, etc.)

CONTENT SYLLABUS
AP Biology Units
1. Chemistry of Life 🧪
2. Cells 🧫
3. Cellular Energetics 🔋
4. Cell Communication and Cell Cycle 📲
5. Heredity 🧬
6. Gene Expression and Regulation 🔬
7. Natural Selection 🦋
8. Ecology 🌱

Students are encouraged to actively engage by participating in review games, asking questions, and sketching visual alongside the instructors!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to the instructors—and most importantly, enjoy every step of the journey!
