Biology AP Advanced Placement " College Board " Updated 2023"I have successfully instructed this course for a span of five years, catering to a cohort of high-achieving students who consistently attained commendable results. With a cumulative experience of 20 years in the field of biology, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the classroom. Moreover, I possess a decade of experience specifically in online teaching, honing my skills in effectively delivering course content and engaging students in virtual learning environments.
Course Description: AP Biology
Course Overview:
The AP Biology course is designed to provide high school students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and concepts of biology. This course is equivalent to a college-level introductory biology course and aims to prepare students for the AP Biology exam administered by the College Board.
Course Objectives:
1. Develop a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of biology, including the structure and function of cells, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology.
2. Cultivate scientific inquiry skills, such as designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence.
3. Foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities by applying biological concepts to real-world scenarios.
4. Enhance scientific literacy by studying and discussing current biological research and its implications.
5. Promote the development of laboratory skills, including proper experimental techniques, data collection, and analysis.
6. Prepare students for the AP Biology exam through comprehensive content review, exam-style practice, and strategies for success.
Course Outline:
Unit 1: Chemistry of Life
- Introduction to biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids)
- Cell structure and function
- Enzymes and metabolic pathways
- Energy and ATP
Unit 2: Cell Structure and Function
- Membrane structure and transport
- Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
- Cell cycle and cell division
Unit 3: Cellular Energetics
- Photosynthesis
- Cellular respiration
- Energy transfer and ATP production
Unit 4: Genetics
- Mendelian genetics
- Molecular genetics (DNA structure, replication, transcription, translation)
- Genetic engineering and biotechnology
Unit 5: Heredity
- Inheritance patterns
- Chromosomal basis of inheritance
- Population genetics
Unit 6: Evolutionary Biology
- Natural selection
- Evidence for evolution
- Speciation and patterns of evolution
Unit 7: Ecology
- Populations and communities
- Ecosystems and energy flow
- Conservation biology
Assessment and Grading:
Assessment in this course will include a variety of methods, such as quizzes, tests, laboratory reports, projects, and the AP Biology exam. Grades will be based on student performance in these assessments, as well as class participation and engagement.
Note: This course description is a general outline and may vary based on the specific curriculum and requirements of your educational institution.

Mariyah
Biology and Human Biology class (mainly for IGCSE)Hello there,
If you are looking for an exciting way to learn biology, you came to the right place.
I used to not like it too but look where I am now.
In this class I will help you understand your topics through engaging presentations and I will help you apply them with some experiments whenever possible. I will then walk you through exam questions and help you get accustomed to exam style and time. We will also schedule weekly quizzes (don’t worry, no surprise tests)
Enough of the stiffened up teaching methods, learning is supposed to be fun and intriguing.
Welcome to my world

Tutoring for both boards of Cambridge and edexcel. IGCSE / GCSE/IB/AS BIOLOGYBiology is particularly a challenging subject because it requires you to first understand the enormous number of concepts and then memories it simultaneously. I'll teach biology through the slides I have prepared (ig/GCSE only) which are made from multiple resource, such as marking scheme, the book and examiner reports, this is beneficial as while I teach the concept it will come to the student the exact way the examiner wants the student to answer, and ofcource while learning the slides he will be Able to directly do the past papers as the notes are mastercopy of the source itself. Moreover, I'll make sure that each topic is fully understood by the student so there will be no room for error.
