  1. AP Biology 2013-2014 Welcome to our AP Biology Classroom. I am happy you are here. There is a lot to learn in this class so hold on tight, we are going to move fast!

  2. About Me I am a mother of 3 boys ages 7, 10 and 12 I am the Class of 2016 advisor I taught for 7 years in New Jersey before moving to PA I took 6 years off to stay home with my children This is my 4th year at Sun Valley High school and I love it here This is my 2nd year teaching AP Biology I’ve taught Anatomy & Physiology all 4 years here at the Valley

  3. Success • Last year was the first year with the new AP Biology curriculum • We had a very successful year • Every student who took the class is better prepared for College Biology • Scores: 4 students earned a 4, 7 students earned a 3

  4. Grading Test/Quiz=70% Lab/activities=20% Home work=10%

  5. E-text and Mastering Biology We are using a digital book this year Please ask your child to share with you the e-text and mastering Biology. There are certain system requirements that will improve the use of the book on your personal computers. This is where we are headed both in HS and college In college this drastically reduces the cost of books so the better the students are at using them, the better they will be in college

  6. Book Link You can reach it from my web page or by typing in Mastering biology.com http://www.masteringbiology.com/

  7. Trouble with Mastering Biology? http://www.masteringbiology.com/site/support/system-requirements.html

  8. Where can I go to get class information? My web page http://www.pdsd.org//Domain/240 My Big Campus http://www.mybigcampus.com/groups

  9. Labs, labs and more labs We have to do 8 inquiry based labs this school year Here are a few that we will do

  10. Electrophoresis

  11. Transpiration

  12. Behavior Lab

  13. Artificial selection

  14. Success depends on consistent effort To be successful at this level, it requires consistent work. I tell the students that no homework listed does not mean no homework They should be reviewing, reading ahead, studying vocabulary, using mastering biology tutorials, Bozeman science, khan academy regularly.

  15. Thank you for coming I am looking forward to working with all your children and watching them grow as students. It is always my goal to prepare students for success in what ever future they choose first. My second goal is to prepare them to pass the college board test cwiest@pdsd.org
