Biology Website references for Students and Teachers: Excellent collection of bio links, organized by topic. Great for reviewing material. Howard Hughes Medical Institute: Explore their collection of learning modules that lets you be the scientist. Excellent virtual lab activities and animation clips. Good site to ask scientists specific questions.
Prentice Hall Biosurf: This site is keyed to a biology book published by Prentice Hall. It has nice articles, pictures, and explanations of scientfic concepts.
The On-line Medical Dictionary: Excellent dictionary of medical and general biological terms. It has a wonderful set of educational resources for biologists.
AP Biology Web Page - This web page created by Chris Halloran from North Warren High School comes with a complete online syllabus. It has excellent web links and practice problems that will help both the AP and Honors biology student.
Biology Study Problems: This site has an excellent assortment of multiple choice questions. The questions are linked to a college level text (different from ours), so are most useful for AP students, but can be used by all, since the answers can be accessed from the site.
