Carolina Investigations® for AP® Biology: Kits That Support the AP Curriculum
Our exclusive approach to the College Board® curriculum
We built these kits from the ground up—creating new inquiry-based labs or adding inquiry twists to traditional investigations—so they align with the AP® Biology curriculum and bring inquiry into your classroom. And like our original kits for AP® Biology, we made sure these kits still engage students and encourage success. Both the AP curriculum and our kits emphasize the overarching Big Ideas:
- Big Idea 1: Evolution
- Big Idea 2: Cellular Processes
- Big Idea 3: Genetics and Information Transfer
- Big Idea 4: Ecology
