AP Biology Review
The first 2 chapters of our AP Biology book cover background information from your Biology class. These reading
guides are meant as a review of what you have previously learned. They are due on September 12.
All work must be done by hand – do NOT do the reading guides or vocabulary on the computer. This work is for
you; complete sentences are not required; drawings are strongly recommended.

o
Complete the form to “AP Procedures” and turn next class. Get the Safety
Guidelines and Microbiology Guidelines signed and returned as well.
o
This class will use VISION to post assignments and information. The link is on my website. Once you click on
the site you will be prompted to log into Vision. Use your network ID and password (***Important***
you first need to have logged onto a school computer and changed your temporary password which is
your six digit birth date). Once you log into vision, you will be prompted to enter the enrollment Key
(APBio). You only need to do this one time and after that you will then be taken to the course.
o
I highly suggest purchasing a review book aligned with the new curriculum, such as Holtzclaw and Holtzclaw
AP® Test Prep Workbook for Campbell Biology. Read the corresponding chapters, highlight and make margins
notes. This will be invaluable in helping you understand the class material and in studying for the AP exam.
o
Assemble a 3-ring binder with the following tabs – Reading Guides, Notes, Quizzes and Tests, etc. You only 1-2
units in class every day, but you need to keep everything from the class in a binder at home. Never throw
anything away.
o
You will need a separate laboratory binder is required to keep your prelabs and lab handouts. Some colleges
want to see this to give you credit for the course. I have provided you with a lab notebook to keep notes in
during laboratory procedures and experiments. You must write in pen and no erasing allowed.

Vocabulary
Make flash cards for the following words with the word on one side and the definition on the back. DO NOT copy
from the text book or other source. Put the definitions in your own words to receive credit! I need to know you
understand the meaning of the term, not that you can copy out of a book. Diagrams help most people learn and are
encouraged!
