A CLOSER
LOOK AT THE
COLLEGE BOARD
REQUIREMENTS
Here’s a quick look at the College Board
requirements for textbooks and labs for
AP® Biology along with teacher perspectives
and how FlinnPREP™ can provide practical
solutions you can use to meet those
requirements.
Requirement—
Textbooks:
Students must have access to an AP®-aligned textbook
published within 10 years of course implementation.
Requirement—Lab Activities:
Lab requirements vary. AP® Biology requires that 25% of
instructional time be devoted to hands-on labs.
Teachers’ Perspective:
Most AP® textbooks are college textbooks that have been
loosely adapted to the AP learning objectives. A lot of the
material is outside the scope of the AP framework.
Teachers’ Perspective:
I’ll never have time to create and test all the lab activities
that are required.
Good Idea:
Use textbook funds for FlinnPREP™: FlinnPREP is new—
less than five years old—and completely focused on AP®.
For example, FlinnPREP for AP Biology includes units not
included in any available textbook.
Good Idea:
Use FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Labs for AP® Biology. Our tested
inquiry labs with real sample data cover key concepts
and meet current AP guidelines and requirements. Help
students make the connection between lab activities and
key concepts.
