4 Big Ideas: The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. Biological systems utilize energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain homeostasis. Living systems retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes. Biological systems interact, and these interactions possess complex properties. AP Biology in 2012-13 Science Practices: The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems. The student can use mathematics appropriately. The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course. Student can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a particular scientific question. The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. The student can work with scientific explanations and theories. The student can connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains. Enduring understanding Core Concepts The new curriculum framework supports Essential Knowledge with Science Practice Learning Objective Testable explanations and predictions: The New AP Biology Exam 13 New Laboratory Investigations Peggy O’Neill Skinner
