Alternative labs list- AP biology teachers submit a curriculum for review and approval and must include laboratory exercises that align with their core ideas. Some of the recommended labs may be too expensive or too time consuming for your class. Listed below are some alternatives that may be acceptable as part of your overall biology curriculum.

Paul Andersen explains the two major portions of the molecular biology lab in AP Biology. He starts by discussing the process of transformation. He explains how you can use the pGLO plasmid to produce glowing E. coli bacteria. He then describes how you can use restriction enzymes and the process of gel electrophoresis to cut and separate DNA.

Paul Andersen shows you how to calculate the ch-squared value to test your null hypothesis. He explains the importance of the critical value and defines the degrees of freedom. He also leaves you with a problem related to the animal behavior lab. This analysis is required in the AP Biology classroom.

Well organized teacher site- AP Biology Web site for Ms. Foglia's Regents Biology (10th grade Living Environment) course at Division Avenue High School, Levittown. It will be a busy year and I will use this Web site to help you to do the best you can. All paperwork, labs, and resources used or mentioned in class will be posted here.

Resource rich site for Regent's Biology and AP Biology

The site has been pared down to focus on that which is truly important: the work of students. You'll still find links for each of the individual classes in the main navigation. Those class indexes will contain the posts for that class, for this year and prior years. They may also include examples of exemplary student work or anything that I (Mr. Kite) think may be relevant to the course.
