  1. NABT 2016 Denver Help Your Students Succeed in AP Biology Fred and Theresa Holtzclaw MissMizzou@aol.com HoltzclawFred@gmail.com

  2. I. Introduction What content will you teach? (Test Prep p. 206-211) Many different approaches, many different paths to success.

  3. A detailed curriculum framework defines and articulates the scope of the course. From AP Biology: A Summary of Course Revisions

  4. Highlight your Table of Contents

  5. Now that you have students and a teaching outline…How do you support them? College majors course—taught in the high school; partnership between teacher and student My task: plan instruction/activities/ explain/support Their task: read, rehearse, ask questions, grapple with content /master conceptual understanding

  6. II. SCIENCE PRACTICES:Develop Skills While Teaching Content Integral to your course Require practice MODELING Cell Division as an example

  7. C. INQUIRY as a Teaching ToolThe Levels of Inquiry 7

  8. Guided and Open Inquiry Content is needed. Lab skills are needed. Rigorous expectations Experimental questions must have scientific basis

  9. Teach a technique. • Structure the pre-lab Holtzclaws’ Inquiry Lab Rubric

  10. Take existing labs to Guided Inquiry • Select a system: • Enzyme reaction chambers • Pillbugs • Floating discs • Fast plants • Teach a technique for gathering data • Give a limited number of testable options • Guide student questions in early labs

  11. Equipping a Lab for Inquiry Temperature Adjustment 11

  12. What else do you suggest? 12

  13. Enzyme Lab Task • Collect data and graph. • Have students post graphs. Use them to teach content. • Graphing skills • Rate calculations (Initial and final)

  14. Why is the rate of this reaction greatest in the first 120 seconds?Use CER

  15. Explanation Tool Claim: statement that answers your question Evidence: data (measurements and observations) that help answer the question and support your claim. Reasoning: Link your claims, evidence, and science ideas to justify them. Scientific Argumentation article in Science Teacher, Summer 2013

  16. Five for $5

  17. Evaluation: 1. Present results with graphs and oral discussion.2. Miniposters (Brad Williamson)3. Formal written reports

  18. III. PREPARING FOR THE EXAM • Focus on You Must Knows to limit content • Be deliberate in teaching Science Practices • Unit exams—SPs, Grid-ins and Essays (see Test Prep p. 98) • Use the terminology (See Test Prep p. 18) • Practice the practice • Mathematics, graphing, data analysis, modeling

  19. III. PREPARING FOR THE EXAM Develop essay writing skills: Concept Generalizations (See p. 5 of your handout) Test taking strategies (Test Prep p. 13-20) Electron transport system, NADH, FADH2, ATP, cristae membrane, ATP synthase, oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis, electrochemical gradient, electron transport chain, H+, oxygen, electrons, water.

  20. cytoplasm substrate level phosphorylation NAD+ NADH oxidize reduce universal glucose oxygen pyruvate 2ATP 4ATP net ATP production enzymes energy transfer How to Improve Essays: Practice! CONCEPT GENERALIZATION: GLYCOLYSIS

  21. RESOURCES Mastering Biology Help (See p. 8) ***You must be registered for the AP Edition! Images (labeled and unlabeled) Answers to text questions

  22. Instructor’s Guides • Answer Keys • AP Correlations • TestBank in Word as well as TestGen

  23. V. RESOURCES New AP Questions aligned with LOs AP Exam Prep Q See p. 10 of HO MasteringBiology Item Library  TestBank

  24. See p. 10 • Mastering Biology • Study Area • eText • BioFlix videos • MP3 Tutor Session • Statistics Worksheets • Cumulative Test. • S
