Study Supplements
The following links might help students better understand more complex biological concepts. Certainly, this should not replace homework assigned during class or at-home studying. They are simply meant to supplement in-class materials.
Genetics
http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/
This website is an excellent resource not only for content knowledge and clarification, but also to practice newly-acquired skills by using online simulations. Additionally, the website contains links to technology and phenomena currently occurring in science.
Proteins, Cell Division, Cloning
http://www.unc.edu/depts/our/hhmi/hhmi-ft_learning_modules/proteinsmodule/index.html
This website was created by Ms. Sauer! It covers specifically the proteins involved in cell division, how cancer is affected by the cell cycle, how we study proteins in the laboratory, and current research endeavors at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Various Biological Topics: Including Animal Behavior, Disease Ecology, and Cephalopod Proteins
http://www.unc.edu/depts/our/hhmi/hhmi-ft_learning_modules/
This website contains the links to many Learning Modules on a variety of topics relating to the North Carolina Biology Standard Course of Study. Each module is unique, with its own distinct focus and interactive design.
Science Videos/Current Technology and Research
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/
Nova always has a lot of great videos to help explain very technical scientific phenomena. Additionally, they have great interactive activities for students and teachers.
Online Tutorials/Simulations
http://www.hartnell.edu/tutorials/biology/
Hartnell College has nice videos and simulations to help explain a wide variety of biology topics.
http://www.khanacademy.org/
Khan Academy provides you with personal instruction via videos. This is a wonderful resource to look at when you are confused about processes and diagrams.
*This is NOT an exhaustive list! Please let me know if you have suggestions to add to the list!

Current Events
Keep up with current events in science! Here are some websites that I check regularly to make sure all of my class content is relevant. If you ever spot and interesting story in science, please mention it to me! I love discussing biology! I'll see if we can incorporate it into a day's lecture!
