  1. NABT 2012 DALLAS How to Help Your Students Succeed in AP Biology Fred and Theresa Holtzclaw Webb School of Knoxville Theresa_Holtzclaw@webbschool.org or Fred_Holtzclaw@webbschool.org

  2. From AP Biology: A Summary of Course Revisions

  3. I. What Content Will You Teach? • 4 Big Ideas • 91 page Curriculum Framework • 153 Learning Objectives Don’t forget the Illustrative Examples for richness! See our Summary Outline. Organizes the C.F. topics into a 4-page outline (in your packet today) Shows where they are found in Campbell Biology Do this for your textbook

  4. Highlight your Table of Contents Packet includes first 4 pages as a sample—see Campbell website for entire TOC

  5. Add your OWN selection of Illustrative Examples • Now, you are ready to see what YOU will teach in the new course • Can continue to use current sequence of topics • Notice that you will still teach much the same: cell biology, respiration/photosynthesis, DNA/RNA, genetics • Incorporate science practices in your activities

  6. Some new help from Pearson . . .

  7. II.How Can You Incorporate Science Practices?

  8. Getting to the LEARNING OBJECTIVES 153 Learning Objectives . . . From AP Biology: A Summary of Course Revisions

  9. Figure 41.4 Richard Smithells “Possible prevention of neural-tube defects by periconceptional vitamin supplementation, Lancet 1980

  10. III. What Will Your Labs Look Like? The Levels of Inquiry 10

  11. Help for the new labs . . . Your own ideas • Take existing labs to Guided Inquiry • Select a system • Teach a technique for gathering data • Give a limited number of testable options • Present results with MiniPosters (Brad Williamson)

  12. Miniposters

  13. Enzyme Lab as Guided Inquiry • Reaction Chamber • Ideas Effect of Concentration of Enzyme on Catalase Activity Devise a plan to prepare 4 concentrations of enzyme. Include a control. Discuss your plan with your teacher. Prepare a data chart. Hypothesis: Effect of Concentration of Substrate on Catalase Activity Devise a plan to prepare 4 concentrations of substrate. Include a control. The stock solution of hydrogen peroxide is 3%. Discuss your plan with your teacher. Prepare a data chart. Hypothesis: Effect of Temperature on Catalase Activity Devise a plan to prepare look at the action of catalase at 4 temperatures. The room temperature reaction will serve as your control. Discuss your plan with your teacher. Prepare a data chart. Hypothesis: Effect of pH on Catalase Activity Devise a plan to prepare look at the action of catalase at pH 6, 7, 8 and 12. Test the pH of the original experiment. This will serve as your control. Discuss your plan with your teacher. Prepare a data chart. Hypothesis:
