What teachers get
- Start with the free neurons and action-potential sample if you want to inspect slide, note, teacher-key, and pacing format before buying.
- Use Research Methods & Statistics when the first paid need is a focused starter unit with slides, guided notes, answer keys, and data interpretation.
- Use Unit 1 Biological Bases when the first-week plan moves quickly into core AP Psychology content after the opener.
- Use assessments, weekly quizzes, or FRQ practice when the first-week problem is checking readiness and setting review routines.
- Use the full curriculum route when you need consistent lesson materials across the year rather than one starter unit.
