Class Information 2024-2025 

7th Grade Life Science

There is no summer work for 7th grade science. Please check your ELA and Math teachers' sites for summer work.

Supplies: Students will use a laptop/device in class almost every day. Other supplies needed: writing utensils, notebook paper, folder with pockets & prongs. Students may also prefer to have their own set of colored pencils and a simple calculator. 

Human Anatomy & Physiology

There is no summer work for Anatomy. Supplies: Device/laptop, 1" 3-ring binder, writing utensils, notebook paper. Students usually prefer having their own set of colored pencils. 

Advanced Placement Biology

There is no required summer work for AP Biology. To prepare for AP Biology, students might want to review chemistry and biochemistry as they relate to living things and cells. Khan Academy lessons for AP Biology are a very good resource. We will also be reading Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin, 2009, ISBN: 0307277453 starting in mid-August. Students will need a paperback copy of the book and may want to obtain a copy before the start of school. It can be found used for less than $10. There are also 1-2 copies at the public library. 

Supplies: Laptop/Device, minimum 1" 3-ring binder, paper, writing utensils, calculator. Students may also prefer to have their own set of colored pencils.

AP Classroom: Students will need access to their account on AP Classroom. If students do not already have a College Board account, they should register for one. Please use your personal (gmail, etc.) email address to link to your College Board account. It does not work well with your school email account. We will be enrolling in our AP Bio class on AP Classroom during the first few days of school.
