Requirement—
Textbooks:
Students must have access to an AP®-aligned textbook
published within 10 years of course implementation.
Requirement—Lab Activities:
Lab requirements vary. For example: AP® Chemistry
requires a minimum of 16 labs and at least 6 must be
guided inquiry. AP Biology and AP Physics 1 require
that 25% of instructional time be devoted to hands-on
labs. In AP Environmental Science, laboratory and field
investigations should be diverse.
Teachers’ Perspective:
Most AP® textbooks are college textbooks that have been
loosely adapted to the AP learning objectives. A lot of the
material is outside the scope of the
AP framework.
Teachers’ Perspective:
I’ll never have time to create and test all the lab activities
that are required.
Good Idea:
Use textbook funds for FlinnPREP™: FlinnPREP is new—
less than five years old—and completely focused on
AP®. For example, FlinnPREP for AP Chemistry includes a
spectroscopy unit not included in any available textbooks.
Good Idea:
Use FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Labs for AP® Science. Our tested
inquiry labs with real sample data cover key concepts
and meet current AP guidelines and requirements. Help
students make the connection between lab activities and
key concepts.
