Biology for the AP Course

Dear AP Biology Teacher:
®

®
®
Welcome to Biology for the AP Course. Over our years of involvement with AP Biology, we have
joined forces with many teachers just like you. We have spoken with you at readings, during workshops
and institutes, and in casual conversations in less formal settings; sometimes in our own children’s
schools. We have been awestruck by how much you are able to achieve and the challenges you face.
Even a pandemic didn’t dampen your spirits or weaken your commitment!

®
More than anything, we wanted to write a book that will help you bring AP Biology to life in an
accessible and inspiring way for all your students. And we wanted to make your job a little easier, too.
Because we know how hard it is to correlate your textbook with the structure of the course, we have
®
aligned our units and the topics within them to match the AP Biology curriculum framework. Because
we know that pacing over the year is an issue for every teacher, we have divided the units into modules
that contain just enough material for one or two class periods. Because we know that many students
need extra help with science practice skills, we have filled the book with tutorials and practice boxes
that teach and review all the necessary mathematical and statistical tools, as well as graph reading
skills. We also know that the sheer volume of material can be overwhelming for students, so we have
®
included specific AP exam tips to help students focus on what they need to know for the exam.
®
Finally, if there is one consistent theme in what all teachers want; it’s plenty of AP Biology practice
®
®
questions throughout the year. In Biology for the AP Course, you will find hundreds of AP practice
questions that match the exam in format and scope, and a full practice exam at the end of the book.
®
Biology for the AP Course grew out of our love for teaching biology and our belief that a special
course deserves a special book. It reflects our belief in the power of learning for students of all
®
backgrounds. And it’s our tribute to you, teachers on the front lines of AP Biology across the country.

®
We hope you enjoy this sample. We’d love to hear about your AP Biology teaching experiences!
