LABS
Resources
Web labs are done on computer, follow directions and print out lab report. Web labs are graded on pass/fail basis for demonstration of C level abilities. Pre labs are optional, they serve to familiarize you with the wet lab that you will do in class. The wet lab includes the manual for carrying out the lab in class. Next to each wet lab you will find a short 5-7 min video from Bozeman Biology describing the essentials of each lab. Wet labs are also graded on a pass/fail basis for demonstration of B level abilities. Lastly, I have included inquiry labs provided by College Board and developed for the new AP biology curriculum. These inquiry labs are graded on a pass/fail basis for demonstration of A level abilities. Please note, you may still alter a wet lab, there by making it your own inquiry lab and earning the A level points should you pass. At the bottom of the page I have included 2 more Bozeman Biology videos where he describes all 12 of the new AP inquiry labs.

Carbon Cycle (web lab)
Follow directions for the carbon cycle lab. Fill in the lab notebook provided and print it out. If you complete the lab and it's contents are accurate I will give you B level credit.

The videos below come from Bozeman Biology. In these videos the 13 new AP Biology labs are summarized and discussed. You may find it to be beneficial to watch the clip on the lab before you attempt the lab.
