Science

There is a significant amount of material to cover before the AP exams next May. Being successful is the result of thoughtful preparation and consistent effort on the part of both you and your teacher. We ask that you begin this process during the summer by reviewing topics covered in your previous courses. In addition, please look below for detailed information pertaining to your class.

AP Chemistry

Teachers will be in touch with students over the summer regarding AP Chemistry coursework.

AP Biology

Urry, Reece, et. al
Campbell Biology in Focus, AP Edition, 4th Ed
ISBN 13: 978-0-13-825521-3

ISBN 10: 0-13-825521-0

Read Ch. 40-43. (Note that in 40.5 – students should understand concepts but should not worry about the mathematics). Students should be prepared to complete a homework assignment covering these chapters upon their return.

The textbook used is specific to studying AP Biology, having been developed to coincide well with the recently redesigned AP Biology curriculum. Students may purchase a new textbook (which comes with Modified Mastering Biology access) or Modified Mastering Access alone (which comes with e-text access). If Modified Mastering is bought, the course instructor will help students enroll in the online platform so that they can access the e-text.
