"Welcome to Miss Baker's Biology Class Wiki! This is a companion site to our class blog, Extreme Biology. A wiki allows users to add and edit content collectively. Go here if you want a more in-depth look at how we use this in our class!"

tudents have produced a range of podcasts based on the Year 11 and 12 Human Biology Course from 2006-2009. Check out his website to see the assignments set and his students' work.

Two teachers collaborating together with Biology, art and technology to create a video on DNA.

For any teacher that wants to experience what cross disciplinary, project based teaching and learning can be, I recommend the short video, " Team Teaching: Two Teachers, Three subjects, One Project http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ASO9FM6gDLs The video explores the opportunities that exist when a traditional physiology topic, blood, is integrated with multimedia. The results are motivating. The viewer experiences art and science coming together under the umbrella of one topic. The team teaching approach is aided by the fact that teachers begin their day an hour before students in order to meet and coordinate the team approach. Students engage in research as they work toward creating multimedia presentations that are placed on display at a local art gallery in order to promote blood donation. This project based approach allows students to share their works with a large audience while creating a community connection with the local blood bank as well as the local art gallery. The teachers guide students through the project and become a resource, rather than only a "holder of knowledge". Students are given real world deadlines and are held accountable by their teachers through online digital portfolios. The exciting part of this project, for teachers interested in attempting this approach to learning, is the opportunity it provides for the teacher to grow outside of their normal curriculum.

Science/High School/Biology - Grade 10/Student Activity Topic/Lesson Name: Cellular Respiration Overview and Purpose: To demonstrate an understanding of the Cellular Respiration Process using Glogster EDU

Terrific site from NOVA, as always. Great introduction to Darwin and Evolution and good place to start a project.

I agree with Charles. I have seen this site before, it is a fantastic resource to learn about Darwin and Evolution and is a great resource for projects. Another great site is http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/. It has resources for students and teachers.
