About
Are you taking AP Biology this year? Or...do you have a genuine fascination for the Life Sciences? Are you self-studying for the AP exam? 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 🔋

Howdy! I’m an upcoming senior who has a deep, deep appreciation for STEM—especially the Life Science. I have taken and scored a 5 on AP Biology, Environmental Science, and Calculus BC. I’m excited to help others excel and give back to the community! If you have any questions, feel free to message me! :-)
