Useful Biology Sites
These sites are overall great sites which contain content for both BIO11 and BIO12.
You just need to browse through to see what you need.
Biology Corner – we highly recommend this site. Has great stuff from Scientific Method
to Genetics and Evolution. Something for almost every BIO11 or 12 topic.
http://www.biologycorner.com/
Lubey’s BioHelp – a website written in student-friendly language offering review work on
topics from the microscope and cell to photosynthesis and genetics.
http://www.borg.com/~lubehawk/biotopcs.htm
DNA From The Beginning – a very thorough, yet easy-to-understand website containing
information on DNA, both molecular and Mendelian genetics. Includes descriptions,
animations, picture gallery, video clips and problems.
http://www.dnaftb.org/dnaftb/1/concept/index.html
Biology Binder - this site provides activities, multiple choice test questions, notes, and
diagrams as well as many links to multiple biology topics.
www.biologybinder.com
Biology I Animations – this site from North Harris College links to all sorts of animations
that you can use as demos in class to better illustrate a concept. At the top of this page
you can also click on Biology I References which will take you to a page of links (many
of which are good) sorted by various topics that fall within the BIO11 and BIO12
curriculum.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t show you Sandra Haley’s web site. Sandra is a
biology teacher in Cape Breton that has a very useful web page with lots of idea and
links. She states on her site that she is happy to share her page with teachers and
students.
