The Biology Corner is a resource site for biology and science teachers. The Lesson Plans section contains classroom activities, labs and worksheets, feel free to change any of these to suit your own classroom needs. The Webquest section contains inquiry based projects that utilize the internet. Internet lessons (also called miniquests) are smaller activities that use one or two science related web sites for the students to explore and answer questions about. Again, feel free to modify these activities so that they work for your class and your style of teaching. I've been making it a personal mission to locate and compile interactive science education sites. Some web programs like Flash can create some amazing virtual labs that students can really benefit from. You will find many of these places in the section under internet lessons, all of which utilize fantastic websites to help students understand scientific concepts. Please contact me if you know of other sites (particularly shockwave virtual labs) and I'll add more lessons. Answer keys are not included, due to the fact my students use this site.
I am teaching a new class this semester - Anatomy and Physiology. There is a link to the site for that class but it is a work in progress, I will add things to it as I go. The intro physics class website was never finished because at the last minute, my class schedule changed, I haven't actually taught the class and the materials I gathered and created haven't been used. I did leave what little I had up just in case someone could use it. Virtual Field Trip to the San Diego Zoo HIV Coloring - advanced Chemiosmosis Coloring -advanced Transcription & Translation Coloring Isopod Behavior Lab - rollypolly lab for AP Biology Elements Found in Living Things (coloring ) Acids & Bases (coloring ) Lab - Plant Hormone Investigation - gibberellic acid & pea plants Lab - Germination Inhibitors - tomato inhibitors Smog City - manipulate variables to see how air speed, temperature, cloud cover, etc. affect smog levels in a virtual city. Peppered
Moth Simulation - a game that analyzes how coloration affects moth
populations. Sex and the Single Guppy - internet lesson that uses a shockwave simulator to breed generations of guppy and analyze species change in relation to predator populations. Adapted from PBS lesson. (internet lesson)

All the stuff I have here
is original work (worksheets and lesson plans). Mainly I take elements from
things I see in other resources, try them, fix them, try them, fix them again...and
so on and so on. Whatever develops out of this is usually nowhere near what
it started out as. On occasion, I do cite sources I take lessons from, mainly
if they are pretty similar to the original. If you see something here that shouldn't
be, please email me.
