The Name Game
• Get up from your seat and find someone else in the room. Tell them your name and give them an explanation about where you name came from– Where you named after a family member?
Celebrity?– Do you like your name? – If not, what would you rather be called?– If so, why do you like it?

• This means…– No food or drink in the
classroom– No talking while others are
speaking– No distracting behaviors during
class
![Page 8: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

My Classroom Philosophy
• RESPECT!
• I respect each of you for all that you do every day and I expect respect from you for what I do
• I also expect that you respect each other
![Page 10: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Entering Class
• As you enter class you will pick up all necessary papers on the front table
• You will then turn in any assignments to the box at the front of the classroom. – If it isn’t turn in to the box the first
minute of class it is marked late
• Next, begin working on your warm-up even if it is before the bell has rung
![Page 11: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
During Class
• There will be no use of electronic devices during class.
• I see it ….– Once- I hold on to your device
until the end of class– Twice- I hold on to your device
and return it to your dean– More than twice- I arrange with
your parents for you to check your phone in and out of my classroom
![Page 12: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Leaving Class
• Clean up any class materials and turn in any assignments to the box
• Write down your homework assignments in your planner
![Page 13: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tardiness
• You are considered tardy if you are not across the threshold of the door by the time the bell stops ringing.
• If you are tardy, you are not permitted to enter the classroom without a note (no matter what your story is)
![Page 14: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
About the Exam
• There are four main ideas we will focus on in this class– The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of
life.– Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular
building block to grow, reproduce and maintain dynamic homeostasis.
– Living systems store, retrieve, transmit and respond to information essential to life processes.
– Biological systems interact. These systems and their interactions possess complex properties.

About the Exam
• There is an emphasis on science practices
• What would be an example of a science practice?
![Page 16: Welcome to AP Biology with Ms. Poole Get the papers from the front of the class!](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649ea85503460f94bab0c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Science Practices• The student can use representations and models to communicate
scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems.• The student can use mathematics appropriately.• The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or
guide investigations within the context of the AP course• The student can plant and implement data collection strategies
appropriate to a particular scientific question• The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence• The student can work with scientific explanations and theories• The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various
scales, concepts and representations in and across domains.
