Summer Assignment 2014-15

AP Biology is over-enrolled this year at Pingry.  Because we do not have enough teachers to cover 3 sections, all Juniors have been wait-listed.  If you are a Senior who is not fully committed to the class, consider dropping to make space for a dedicated Junior.  The class will move rapidly.  I will expect you to come to class in September with the following assignments completed.

Before you begin any work, complete the preinstruction test.

I will email your results to you.  Once you have your results, complete the preinstruction test analysis form.

Complete the following assignments

 

Chemistry of Biology - Using Avogadro to Investigate Organic Chemicals

Essay:  Chemistry of Large Biological Molecules
