STUDY GUIDE IT IS MY STRONG RECOMMENDATION – WHETHER YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING THE AP TEST OR NOT – TO OBTAIN A COPY OF AN AP BIOLOGY STUDY GUIDE THERE IS NO ONE STUDY GUIDE THAT I WILL RECOMMEND OVER ANOTHER MAKE SURE IT IS FOR THE CURRENT, REFORMATED TEST (AFTER 2013). YOU CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS IN THEIR PRACTICE TEST (63 MC AND 6 GRID INS) TAKE SOME TIME TO READ A FEW PAGES OF MULTIPLE STUDY GUIDES. PURCHASE THE ONE THAT YOU FEEL YOU RELATE TO THE BEST.

Technology survey Increasing the use of technology in the classroom is a personal, department, school wide, and district goal Please fill out the technology survey being handed out to you to help me use technology in a meaningful way in our classroom this year.

Build a square With your shoulder partner (the person next to you), you will take an envelope of random shapes and put the together to form a perfect square No parts of any piece may be hidden, folded, etc. When you have made a perfect square, either draw your square or take a picture of it so that you can quickly reconstruct it at the beginning of our next class
