2010 AP SUMMER UPDATE (handed out in May during school)

2010 AP SUMMER ASSIGNMENT #1 and ANSWER SHEET

2010 AP SUMMER ASSIGNMENT #2

2010 AP SUMMER ASSIGNMENT #3

Welcome to the AP Biology page on Goldie's Room. During the 2010-2011 school year, I will make all documents in class available here. This will be my fourth year teaching Advanced Placement Biology, and I have had many other teachers help me develop the course. Many thanks go to the following: Tony DeMarco (who also teaches a section of AP Bio at Colonie and has advised me through the most trying of times), Kim Foglia (whose materials have been used all throughout the course--without her, I would be years behind where I am now), Carol Minor, Jody Visconti, and many, many others... They have supplied me with resources and ideas that would have taken me a long time to set up. I hope to use all their support to mold this class to my teaching style over the many years I still hope to teach.

I will make available .pdf files of my lecture notes, question sets, and labs, which can be downloaded by the students. I also will post links that are directly useful to AP Biology students that I have found from other textbooks, other AP Biology websites, and all over the web. I have arranged these resources chapter by chapter, to make it easy for students to find help. Students will also have the CD for their texts which will also come in handy. Also students, please look at the Regents Biology section of this website, as it can give plenty of background review--even though this is not The Living Environment (which is also referred to by me as as Biology Lite), it can refresh your memories on a lot of topics... If you have any feedback, please let me know--this is always a work in progress!
