Biology Resources

The Biology Project
The Biology Project is an interactive online resource for learning biology developed at The University of Arizona. Teachers can assign problems sets for reviews before exams, or may want to assign an activity before students cover that topic in their laboratory.
Kimball’s Biology Pages
Online biology textbook
Online Biology Book
Contains 59 chapters related to various biology topics including Cellular metabolism and fermentation, human genetics, and diversity in biology.
B.D. Owens Library—Science Resources
Exhaustive list of science related topics.
How Viruses Work
This site gives information about what a virus is, how they infect, and how to reduce spreading of viruses.
Microbes in the News
The Digital Learning Center for Microbial Ecology (DLC-ME) is a science education project developed at Michigan State University. The creation of the DLC-ME was partially sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The goal of the DLC-ME is to use computers and network technologies to provide students and teachers interested in microbiology and microbial ecology with resources that may aid their learning and teaching.
Microbial Life
focuses on ecology, diversity, and evolution of micro-organisms. Learn about marine microbes and extremophile microbes that live in inhospitable environments. Explore the Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone and the red tide through case studies. Find out about microbial observatories and extreme environments, including Mono Lake (in California’s Eastern Sierra), Octopus Spring (in Yellowstone National Park), and others. From the Science Education Resource Center, National Science Foundation)
Ask A Biologist
Designed as an educational resource for students preK-12, their teachers and parents. A Teacher’s Toolbox is included which has activities for use with and without a computer.
Did you know?
Interesting biology facts from bacteria to mammals are posted to explore the exciting world of biology.
Virtual Lab
View microscopic images of the World of Nature, around your house, and science and technology.
The Biology Corner
Explore this website for a comprehensive listing of biology lessons, web-based lessons, web quests, quizzes and more!
The New Genetics
explains the process by which all living things pass genes to their offspring. Discover how genes serve as “instruction books” for making molecules (such as RNA and proteins) that perform the chemical reactions in our bodies. Learn how genes influence health and disease. Find out how studies of evolution drive medical research and how computers are advancing genetics in the 21st century. (National Institutes of Health)
Microscope Imaging Station
shows what blood is, what happens when the immune system goes awry, what are stem cells are, and more. See videos exploring cell structure and function, cell development and motility, plankton, plants, and protozoa. Learn how the sea urchin helps us understand genes, reproduction, and cancer. (Exploratorium, Multiple Agencies)
Biology
explores biological molecules, self-assembly and DNA. Zoom in on themacromolecules from which living things are made. Discover how, on the molecular level, things can assemble themselves. Learn how genetic information stored in DNA is read by cells and used to build protiens that cells need. From the Concord Consortium, National Science Foundation.
