Several AP Biology students have committed to 8 hours of “Biology Boot Camp” this summer, where they practice skills that weren’t taught last year due to COVID-19.
They used social distancing, and when they did activities together, they wore masks. These students chose to participate in hopes to learn skills that will help them be competitive in AP Bio next year.
Students attend two days for four hours each day. The first day was reviewing genetics and learning about natural selection. The second day focused on phylogeny and ecology.
They were given snacks and candy each day. They also got a free "5 Steps to a 5" study book, notebook, safety goggles, and calculator. Students will also get a t shirt at the beginning of school.
Thanks to Mrs. Parker and the science department for hosting this boot camp!
