✪Hands-on lab work and understanding the process of science are central
parts of AP Biology. Translation—LEARN THESE WELL!
✪Read the summaries found here and review the work that you did on the
labs during the year.
✪If you missed one of these labs in class, or just do not feel comfortable
with the material even after reading this chapter, ask your teacher to go
over the lab with you.Introduction
In this chapter we take a look at each of the 13 lab experiments that are included in the AP
Biology curriculum. We summarize the major objectives from each experiment and the
major skills and conclusions that you should remember. This chapter is important, so do
not just brush it aside if lab experiments are not your cup of tea. Experimental (data) analysis
will be heavily emphasized on the exam, in both the multiple-choice and the essay sections.
Of course, the questions will not be an exact duplication of the experiment, but they will
test your understanding of the objectives and main ideas that are discussed in this chapter.
So, only 13 experiments separate us and the end of the review material for this exam.
All of the investigations in this chapter have multiple parts, including the opportunity
