The Biology Project

A biology website (http://www.biology.arizona.edu/default.html) created by the University of Arizona that explores multiple biology topics.

Topics Include:

• Biochemistry
• Cell Biology
• Chemicals & Human Health
• Developmental Biology
• Human Biology
• Immunology
• Mendelian Genetics
• Molecular Biology

Fun Facts About the Biology Project

• In depth explanation is given on each topic.
• Lab activities are suggested for each topic.
• Practice test questions are given for each topic.
• Provides visual aides and animations on concepts that are hard to grasp (i.e. ELISA).
• Offers a link to lesson plans and activities created by high school and middle school teachers in their General Biology Program for Science Teachers. http://biology.arizona.edu/sciconn/lessons2/lessons.html
• Provides simulations and tutorials.

Classroom Use:
This website would be good for a more in depth explanation on biology topics. It provides a lot of animations and lab activities that would prove to be useful to the students. Instead of simply explaining a topic, animation or simulations allow the student and teacher to visualize the concept. The practice test questions would serve as a good review before a test or final.
