Assignment

Hi All!

I hope you are staying healthy! I am posting your second self-study unit-cell signaling. I have linked to a Prezi with my voiceover. I have also linked to Bozeman for content reference. After self-studying, I recommend following up with some practice in your CollegeBoard account.

As of now, the Collegeboard seems to be planning to administer the tests online, at home, for 45 minutes. See here for updates: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/news-changes/coronavirus-update

This will be the final week that I post material in this manner. After Spring Break, expect that we will fully transition to GoogleClassroom. When we switch to GoogleClassroom we will be on distance learning mode-it will not be optional material. Some of the material I have posted over the past two weeks will repeat and there will be assignments that count towards your grade at that time.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I will be checking emails throughout the week.

In Good Health,

Ms. Pierson

Assignment

Hi All!

I hope you are staying healthy! I am posting your first self-study unit-the immune system. I have linked to a Prezi with my voiceover. I have also linked to two crash course videos for more content reference. Following the basic content introduction, there are supplemental videos regarding different categories of pathogens and some specifics on viruses. Hopefully you will find this information extra interesting with the immediate relevance to what is going on around us.

After self-studying I recommend following up with some practice in your CollegeBoard account. I have included free response problems on one and will score them at the end of the week so you can see your responses. The two assignments for this week:

  •     Immune System Practice
  •     Collegeboard Exam Prep: Evolution Review 1

As of now, the Collegeboard seems to be planning to work around closures and still provide AP testing. See here for updates: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/news-changes/coronavirus-update

If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I will be checking emails throughout the week.

In Good Health,

Ms. Pierson
