Characteristics of Successful AP Science Students High grades in previous science and/or math courses Recommended by science teacher Strong work ethic Motivated Independent learner Able to devote at least one hour/night to studying Able to apply content, not just memorize

AP Biology Prerequisites – Honors Biology, Chemistry (preferably Honors) Exam consists of 55 multiple choice questions, 5 numerical grid-in questions, 2 multi-part free response questions (1 lab-based), and 7 single-part free response questions Curriculum based on 4 “Big Ideas” in biology Course requires 25% laboratory experiences, including 8-12 in-depth, inquiry-based labs

AP Chemistry Prerequisite – Honors Chemistry Higher level math strongly recommended Exam consists of 60 multiple choice and 7 free response questions (3 requiring calculations) Focus on inquiry-based learning of essential concepts: Matter, chemical & physical properties, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, thermodynamics 16 guided-inquiry labs that give students opportunities to explore chemical concepts, answer questions of interest, and learn correct lab techniques and safety procedures

AP Environmental Science Prerequisites – Honors Biology, Chemistry (preferably Honors) AP Exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions and 4 free response questions Takes an interdisciplinary approach to examine different aspects of the environment as well as human impact Includes inquiry-based labs as well as other learning activities to enhance the curriculum

AP Physics 1 “ All science is physics. Everything else is stamp collecting.” --Rutherford Prerequisites – Math III or higher Similar to a 1 st semester algebra-based college physics course Newtonian mechanics (including rotational dynamics and angular momentum); work, energy, and power; and mechanical waves and sound. More than 40 hours of lab work

AP Physics C-Mechanics Prerequisites – Calculus and/or a previous physics course Similar to a 1 st semester calculus-based college physics course Kinematics; Newton’s laws of motion; work, energy, and power; systems of particles and linear momentum; circular motion and rotation; and oscillations and gravitation More than 40 hours of lab work
