<p>Are there certain labs everyone does for example assigned by collegeboard?
or does your teacher assign them?</p>
<p>Please help, my school doesn't offer AP Biology, but a degrading adv. biology.
We just finished chapter five of Campbell and started learning about ethics by watching Frankeinstein....</p>
<p>yes there are 12 standard labs. (the dirty dozen)</p>
<p>you can do a google search to find out what you are supposed to know from them, you dont really have to actually do them as long as you understand them.</p>
<p>they are really quite easy concepts to learn. you probably know then already. frankly, I think doing the labs is pointless cuz almost everyone predicts correctly what will happen. Seems mostly busy work.</p>
<p>Anyone know any website or some source where we can find these labs?</p>

<p>The point of labs isn't entirely to predict what will happen. Yes, you can understand the concept behind a lab by reading about it, but that's not the point.</p>
<p>The most important part of labs is just doing the lab and getting experience doing labs with all kinds of equipment, practicing various techniques, and learning how to take precise measurements or set up experiments, as well as knowing exactly how to analyze data or errors.
A lot of it is about learning the technique.</p>
<p>heh, good point. i didn't even think about it thru that prespective.</p>
