"Practical Biology provides teachers of Biology at all levels with experiments that demonstrate a wide range of biological concepts and processes. Each practical may be used alone or as a starting-point for open-ended investigations or enhancement activities, such as clubs or open-day events. Experiments are placed within real-life contexts, with links to carefully selected further reading, enabling teachers to show relevance and illustrate the key principles of How Science Works"

"A programme that brings live fish into classrooms to teach the fundamentals of biology not only helps students learn, but improves their attitudes about science, a new study finds. The study of nearly 20,000 K-12 students, who raised zebrafish from embryos over the course of a week, found that kids at all grade levels showed significant learning gains. They also responded more positively to statements such as "I know what it's like to be a scientist." The results, to be published by the journal PLOS biology, suggest that an immersive experience with a living creature can be a particularly successful strategy to engage young people in science, technology, engineering and maths."

We believe that innovations in biology should beaccessible,affordable,and open to everyone. We're building a community biology lab foramateurs, inventors, entrepreneurs,and anyone who wants toexperiment with friends.   Welcome to BioCurious

A large collection of anatomy & physiology links. Includes links for endocrinology, cell biology and molecular biology, drugs and neurotransmitters, muscular system, nervous system, skeletal system, skin, and more.

A site from the University of California with lots of resources for AP Biology.

AP Biology Review resources

Features lessons in science, biology, anatomy, physics and more.  Listed as one of the ten YouTube EDU Gurus.

Biology teaching resources.

Twelve interactive inquiry-based biology simulations. It is a commercial site, however. Might be worth a look.

Mr. Hsu's channel on YouTube. My biology students found his "cell respiration" song and showed it to me, which is how I discovered him. Really good stuff for high school science. My students love the songs, and they say they have really helped!

Many cool science (and particularly biology) activities, including an online version of "dragon genetics" (an activity most high school biology teachers are familiar with)

In-depth interactive walkthrough of cellular respiration. Easy to use. Suggested level on the website says high school, but it is very detailed--more appropriate for AP Biology or college level Biology (or even biochemistry) courses.

"Below are 21 simple teaching strategies that biology instructors can use to promote student engagement and cultivate classroom equity. To provide a framework for how these teaching strategies might be most useful to instructors, I have organized them into five sections, representing overarching goals instructors may have for their classrooms, including:"

Length article specifically dealing with biology classrooms and student engagement.

"A free resource to help teachers and students to gain a deeper understanding of how the body works has been launched by The Physiological Society in partnership with the University of Liverpool. The resource, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), has been specifically designed to support the A-level Biology curriculum, with a focus on the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems."

Open and Free Course on Biology run by Carnegie Mellon. Good background material.

Lots of biology concepts animations

Find great videos covering Biology or World History topics

Macaulay's library of free audio/video/images of animals which can be browsed by taxonomy or species. A great Biology resource.
