Any sources online or otherwise to help me wise up in Biology?We Answered:
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/hs/biology/biology/index.htm I typed in "AP biology help online" in the Google search engine and it came up first. Video lectures with transcript. Looks promising. Good luck on the AP test!Sean Said:
What should I do if I want to teach high school biology?We Answered:
You need a teaching certificate, and to get it you must take the correct courses (not just pass the Praxis). The courses include quite a few specific ones in the area you'll teach, some in related areas, and some courses in education. You can check your state's Dept of Ed website - they usually list the specific requirements.Audrey Said:
Calling all you Anatomy teachers out there....................?We Answered:
We dissected cats in the second semester. They have the most similar muscle anatomy as humans. Plus they're small and mobile. We tried to keep the tests as focused as possible. Testing only on certain areas. The humerus, then hand, lower limbs, etc. That way the tests are not as comprehensive and intimidating and the students still learn the material. We also did a lot of latin and greek root words as vocabulary. Knowing those words allow the student to understand why the parts of the body are named the way they areBeverly Said:
Is there any teachers guide or resource material available to teach O-level biology ?We Answered:
Some publishers offer such material to academia and have copies to teachers, if you fill out a form on their site. You would have to know the book publishers who have this text material on their books, and the guide and resource material might also be there for you to order and to obtain. I don't know if Amazon books have anything like this, but you could check their offerings.Clinton Said:
What are some ways I can self-teach and refine my knowledge of Biology?We Answered:
Well, as a Biology major myself, I pretty much did what you want to do, in my senior year of high school. I looked ahead and found out what biology textbook my college would be using, and I found it at my high school- I asked the AP Bio teacher if I could borrow a copy and he allowed it.Here's the name of the text I used; Biology, by Neil Campbell and (i think Jane) Reece. Check for the newest edition.
This book is EXCELLENT! I'm someone who doesn't really enjoy reading things, but this book truly is in-depth and covers a TON of biology. Its text itself isn't dull and boring like most texts are, and its diagrams are extremely detailed, involved, and have great explanations right aside them. Some of my friends actually ignored the text in the book and simply studied the diagrams and the text surrounding them, and did well in the college class (at an ivy league school)! Additionally, there are practice questions at the end of each chapter to test your comprehension of the chapter, there are practice tests based upon this textbook that can be easily found online just by googling examinations for Campbell Biology, and I believe if you buy the textbook, you can even access the full text online so you don't need to carry the textbook everywhere you go.
I highly recommend purchasing or taking out this book from a library/school and reading through as many of the chapters as you would like. It will prepare you well not only for introductory biology, but will give you a solid foundation for upper level biology courses as well (as I've found in my own experiences). Simply reading this book allowed me to skip lectures without missing any material!
Best of luck!
