The Biology Corner
The Biology Corner is a resource site for biology and science teachers. It contains a variety of lessons, quizzes, labs, web quests, and information on science topics.  You can find lessons related to biology topics in the links above. Topics include: Ecology, Genetics, Anatomy, Cells, Scientific Method, and Evolution.  Quizzes are organized in the same way (by topic) and are all self-grading quizzes so that students can assess their own understanding of topics.   Lessons can be found for both freshman (entry) level biology and AP Biology.  To see any of the class curriculum use the “classes” link on the top left.
Biologycorner is also a kind of “storage” area for past projects, images, and links that help me stay organized. I will eventually add sections for student created projects such as concept maps and cell models. Digitally storing documents makes so much more sense than the old way of filing documents in cabinets and drawers. Websites are a good way to not only store information but have them accessible no matter where you are.
You are free to use any of the worksheets and lessons for your own class, and you can even modify them for your needs. Many of the worksheets are also available in word (.doc) format which is easier to edit for most people – check for the word icon.

Worksheets:
I’ve received many requests for the old worksheets page - I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to keep this fully updated, but I have checked all the links and updated some of the information as of Aug, 2009. The “old” worksheets page is at http://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets.html All of the same resources can be found on the main site (here) using the left sidebar pages link. The old worksheets page was becoming too large to be manageable so it is now broken down into topic pages.
BLOG
My blog pages contain useful tips and tricks for teaching various biology topics. For now, I’m adding to it as I cover these concepts in class and discover common issues and problems students may have.   Right now, this is a work in progress and I will be building more discussions as the year progresses. Recent posts:
Photostream
I also have been uploading pictures to Flickr to organize and keep science related images in one spot. I’ve also got a fancy camera to hook onto a microscope, check out the Flickr Photostream to view those images. Flickr is a great resource for organizing photos and allows me to store photos that other teachers might find useful, like the images of cheek cells and mitosis.
