**Please note: this resource does not contain as many resources as the Complete Curriculum. This resource is to help you supplement your course and add activities in where needed. My Complete Curriculum includes guided notes packets for students with an integrated study guide that includes the activities described here, plus more, along with PowerPoint presentations, quizzes and tests, bell ringers, video lectures, and a pacing guide.

How does it work?

Each unit is aligned to the Enduring Understandings, the Learning Objectives, and each Essential Knowledge, as outlined by the AP Biology course guide*. These are a no prep resource and are ready to be used in the classroom. This is a GROWING bundle. I will be adding more worksheets to this throughout the year. If you purchase this now, you have access to all of the added materials at no additional cost. To check for updates go to "my purchases" and find this resource. If there is an update it will say "newly updated" and you will be provided a brief description of the updates. Simply download the resource from TPT again for access to the updates.

How can I implement this product into my class?

These activities packets have resources to help supplement your full-year AP Biology course. Please note that while this bundle provides many resources to use in your classroom, it should not be solely relied upon. It is up to you to make sure that you are meeting the course syllabus/lab requirements as stated by the College Board.

Every AP teacher is different and has a unique and awesome style for incorporating resources into their own classroom, which is why I made a resource that could be flexible to your own style! There are a couple different ways that this resource can be added to your class. The first way this resource can be used is in a traditional format. You can go through the PowerPoint slides (and the questions included in the slides) together to clarify any student misconceptions right away and then have students work in groups to complete the activities. The second way to use this resource is in the style of a flipped classroom. Students can review the PowerPoint slides in their own time, or as a homework assignment, and then you can do an activity, worksheet, FRQ, or a project in class afterwards to reinforce their understanding.

Why should you purchase this resource from me?

This is a valid question! When I first started teaching AP Biology*, it was tough to say the least. The resources available to me were limited or not beneficial to my students. PowerPoints, especially, were the hardest resource to come by. So, I created this curriculum myself. I aligned it to the AP Biology* course and made it so that my students would actually benefit from the content. The year I started using this curriculum, the pass rate at my school went from an average of 55% to an average of 92%. I received so much positive feedback from my students as well! The best compliment I ever received was when two of my previous students came back to visit me during their freshmen year at college. They came to tell me that my curriculum was the reason they were excelling in their college biology class (and that they were still using my PowerPoints to study)!
