Biology for the AP® Course, 1st Edition grew out of a belief that the AP® Biology classroom could benefit from a textbook that matches the goals and organization of the course. Although the course content is the equivalent of a first year college biology course, AP® teachers and students face unique challenges. This book is designed to provide the rigor expected for the course, while addressing the need for careful pacing. It provides solid skill building on data analysis and statistical testing through teaching, review, and practice. It focuses on the science practices around which the course is designed and interweaves the four Big Ideas of AP® Biology. Stunning visuals support and reinforce the science practices throughout.
