Lab Manual

Labs are a crucial component of AP Biology. The AP Biology Lab Manual was revised in 1997, and again in 2001 to bring it into closer alignment with the conceptual approach of the current course and examination. The objectives of the 12 recommended laboratory exercises have been broadened to include some of the excellent variations on these lab exercises that are already being used in AP Biology courses.

You can order the AP Biology Lab Manual from the collegeboard.com store.

Corrections to the 2001 Student Lab Manual

  • On page 15, the label for the x-axis under Graph 1.3 should read "Sucrose Molarity within Beaker."

Corrections to the 1997 Student Lab Manual, Edition D

  • On page 42, in figure 3.15, the unshaded chromosome shown at the lower left and marked with a "+" should be shaded.
  • On page 50, step 7 omits the instruction that the unboiled chloroplast suspension should be added to tube #1, following the same procedure described for tubes #2 and #3.
