ModelScholar is designed to support classroom instruction by connecting real scientific research to AP curriculum. All resources align with College Board learning objectives and emphasize the scientific practices assessed on AP exams.
Classroom Use Cases
Unit Introductions
Start a new unit with a research summary that demonstrates real-world applications of concepts students will learn.
Data Analysis Practice
Use simplified graphs for practice interpreting data, identifying patterns, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Discussion Starters
Research summaries provide context for classroom discussions about scientific methods and reasoning.
Independent Exploration
Assign students to explore the Poster Room or browse summaries related to their areas of interest.
Curriculum Alignment
Every research summary includes explicit connections to AP Biology or AP Environmental Science curriculum:
- Relevant unit identification
- Learning objective alignment
- Essential knowledge statement connections
- Science practice skill development
AP Exam Preparation
ModelScholar resources support the scientific practices assessed on AP exams, including experimental design analysis, data interpretation, and evidence-based argumentation. Regular engagement with authentic research helps students develop the reasoning skills needed for free-response questions. For systematic, trackable data analysis and MCQ practice, use the PEEBEDU Data Analysis Practice App.
Getting Started
Browse our research summaries by AP unit using the course pages. Each summary can be used as a standalone resource or integrated into broader lesson plans. Conceptual infographics are designed to work well in slide presentations or as classroom posters.
