Course Details
At Refresh Kid tutoring sessions, we offer a comprehensive AP Biology course curriculum designed to provide students with a deep understanding of biological concepts and prepare them for success in the AP Biology exam. Our goal is to help students develop critical thinking skills, master scientific inquiry, and cultivate a solid foundation in biology. Here is an overview of our AP Biology course curriculum:
- Introduction to Biology:
- Exploring the nature of science and the scientific method.
- Investigating the properties of life, cellular organization, and the levels of biological organization.
- Understanding the relationship between structure and function in biological systems.
- Biochemistry and Cell Biology:
- Understanding the structure and function of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
- Exploring enzyme structure and function, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis.
- Investigating the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- Cellular Energetics:
- Exploring the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis in detail.
- Investigating ATP synthesis, electron transport chains, and the role of energy in cellular activities.
- Understanding the regulation and coordination of metabolic pathways.
- Genetics and Inheritance:
- Exploring Mendelian genetics and the laws of inheritance.
- Understanding the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis.
- Investigating patterns of inheritance, genetic disorders, and genetic engineering techniques.
- Molecular Biology and Biotechnology:
- Exploring gene regulation and expression.
- Understanding DNA technology, genetic engineering, and the application of biotechnology.
- Investigating the role of DNA in evolution and the study of genomes.
- Evolutionary Biology:
- Understanding the mechanisms of evolution, including natural selection, genetic drift, and speciation.
- Investigating the evidence for evolution and the role of evolutionary processes in shaping biodiversity.
- Exploring the principles of population genetics and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
- Ecology:
- Exploring ecological concepts, including populations, communities, and ecosystems.
- Investigating energy flow, nutrient cycling, and the interactions between organisms and their environment.
- Understanding ecological relationships, such as symbiosis, competition, and predation.
Throughout the course, students will engage in laboratory investigations, data analysis, and critical thinking exercises to reinforce their understanding of the concepts covered. Our tutors provide individualized attention, clear explanations, and guidance on experimental design, data interpretation, and scientific writing.
We are committed to supporting students' progress and offer additional resources, practice materials, and ongoing support to ensure their success in AP Biology and the AP exam.
At Refresh Kid, we believe that a strong foundation in AP Biology is essential for students interested in pursuing careers in the life sciences. Enroll in our tutoring program today and empower your child with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in AP Biology and beyond.
