Innovating Science® AP® Biology Lab - Investigation #1: Artificial Selection
Grades 9-12.
Allow students to get the most out of their AP® Biology class with college-level labs designed to challenge the more advanced student. Students will explore key concepts while preparing for higher education. Enough materials provided for eight lab groups.
Students will identify phenotypic differences to observe in fast-growing plants. They will then use selective cross pollination to examine the prevalence of that phenotype in successive generations. Meets AP® Science Practices 2, 5, and 7, and Big Idea 1. For 32 students in eight lab groups.
