Study Resources
Quizlet- this is a great site to create your own flashcards or use those made by others.
Diffen- this site allows you to compare any two things- whether it be prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells or mammals and reptiles.
Shmoop- this site has help for biology and other school subjects. There is a biology learning guide with
information on the topics we will discuss in our units and much more.
The Biology Place- BioCoach helps you review concepts with simulations. There are also self-quizzes at the end of some of the topics to help you assess your knowledge.
Sheppard Software- This site does not have as much content as required by AP Biology standards, but it is a good site to still practice the main concepts through games and quizzes.
Biology 101- Good website that offers study guides and flash cards for particular subjects.
Unit Resources
Unit 1: Biochemistry and Introduction to Cells
"The Molecules of Life" video from Bozeman Biology. Paul Anderson gives a great synopsis on the four
molecules of life.
"Tour of the Cell" video from Bozeman Biology. Paul Anderson navigates you through a cell, the
types of cells, and the organelles and their functions.
"Cells Alive" website allows you to view the different types of cells via interactive simulations.
"Sheppard Software Cell Games"- allows you to test your knowledge of the cell organelles and types of cells.
Unit 2: Metabolism
Unit 3: Cellular Reproduction
Unit 4: Genetics
Unit 5: Evolution
"Vulcans through the Eye of a Bottleneck"- this article explores the effects of a bottleneck event on the fictional species from Star Trek. Great scientific approach to applying concepts to determining if a species can survive such an event.
Unit 6: Body Systems
Unit 7: Ecology
