Welcome to AP Biology!
You have chosen for yourself a most fascinating AP course!
This will be the beginning of an adventure of a life time:
—we will investigate
the hidden power of the tiniest biomolecule
to the intricate
beauty of the greatest biome
and the zillions of intertwined
interactions in between!
After this course, you will not see the world with the same eyes anymore,
…for the handiwork of God is indeed sacred.
Our adventure begins this summer:
In preparation for a reasonable test the first day of class:
