REVIEW:
The Biology Corner offers a wealth of materials for science teachers!
The Lesson
Plan page offers numerous self-explanatory worksheets on topics
including anatomy, evolution, cell biology, and genetics. There are
also textbook specific worksheets designed to be used with the Holt,
Rinehart, and Winston text - "Modern Biology". Internet
Lessons are designed to guide students through sites on the web. These
are similar to the WebQuest links, but the Internet lessons are intended
to be completed during a single class period, while the WebQuests
take several days to complete. Both of these pages offer annotated
links to activities covering varied science topics. Examples include
a virtual frog dissection, a bacteria identification virtual lab,
The Love Canal Debate WebQuest, and SimEarth. The site also offers
links to other science resources around the web. The author has also
included a section of biological images to use in teachers' own creations.
Because students in the author's classes use this site, she has not
included answer keys for any of the worksheets. |
