Congratulations! You
have registered to take AP Biology next fall.
Your decision to continue to develop your skills and knowledge as a
scientist will offer you many valuable opportunities and career pathways.
This summer, we will begin to
get to know each other as a class and learn about science together, through our
book club, Your Inner Fish. This book
tells the story of the human body and how we have evolved over millions of
years.
Your assignment this summer is to read the
book and reflect on it through online blog posts.
Assignment 1:
