Thinkwell's AP Biology
Thinkwell's AP Biology provides a comprehensive introduction to college-level biology for motivated high school students preparing for the AP Biology exam. Taught by Emmy Award-winning educator George Wolfe, the course combines clear video instruction, extensive practice, and built-in assessment tools to help students develop a deep understanding of biological science.
More than 380 video lessons guide students through topics such as cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, ecology, and biological systems. Complex concepts are broken into manageable lessons that help students understand both the content and the scientific principles behind it.
Each lesson is supported by interactive practice opportunities, with more than 1,000 problems providing immediate feedback and reinforcement. Built-in diagnostic tools help identify areas that need additional review, allowing students to focus their study time where it will be most effective.
The course also includes printable notes, chapter tests, practice tests, a midterm exam, and a final exam. A glossary containing more than 1,600 biological terms provides a valuable reference throughout the year.
Because the program is self-paced, students can spend additional time on challenging topics or move more quickly through familiar material. Twelve months of access, closed captioning on every video, and compatibility across multiple devices provide flexibility for a wide range of learning environments.
Strong performance on the AP Biology exam may allow students to earn college credit or advanced placement at many colleges and universities. For families seeking a rigorous AP Biology course with built-in instruction, practice, assessment, and progress tracking, Thinkwell's AP Biology offers a structured path to exam preparation and advanced science study.

Your student watches a 5-10 minute online video lesson, completes the automatically graded exercises for the topic with instant correct-answer feedback, then moves on to the next lesson! The courses are self-paced, or you can use the daily lesson plans. Just like a textbook, you can choose where to start and end, or follow the entire course.
The College Board® states at their website: “The AP Course Audit process is designed to review AP courses in their entirety, so only schools (whether brick-and-mortar or virtual) can submit course syllabi for review.” Since Thinkwell is a publisher and not a school, our materials can’t be certified. We strive to make this distinction, which is why you see this statement: AP® is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in its production. This course is designed for self-study preparation for the AP® exam and has not been audited by the College Board®.
The course grade is calculated this way: Chapter Tests 33.3%, Midterm: 33.3%, Final: 33.3%.
Yes, but completing the exercises online provides immediate correct answer feedback and automatic scoring, so we recommend answering the exercises online.
