Animations and interactive questions connect laboratory procedures to biological principles. Designed for advanced students, these activities correspond to the AP* Lab Manual and include sections on key concepts, experiment design, analysis of results, as well as a lab quiz. The Glossary is a comprehensive, online, easily accessible listing of definitions of the key biological concepts and terms introductory students are likely to encounter.
