Class Referenced Webpages

General

  • HHMI Biointeractive- Home of so many high quality lectures and resources about all sorts of current biology.
  • TED- We watch a lot of TED during the year

Biodiversity

Phylogeny

  • GenBank- The NIH database of all publicly available genetic data. Massive (and somewhat slow as a result). Home of BLAST.
  • UniProt- A cultivated database of protein sequence data.
  • Next Generation Biology Workbench- An online suite of phylogenetic analysis tools.  Full-featured and research quality.
  • Phylogeny.fr- A more "one-click" approach to phylogenetic analysis.  Paste the sequences and click a button.  A tree will come out the other side.

Ecology

Interactive Simulations

University of Utah "Learn Genetics" Interactives

The University of Utah has a great website with tons of cool interactive things you can play around with.

For Cell Biology:

For Molecular Genetics:

For Physiology:

John Kyrk's Interactives

John Kyrk makes some really awesome interactive Flash animations.  We will reference them throughout the year.

For Biochemistry:

For Cell Biology:

PhET Biology Simulations

Various Java applets that you can use to investigate various biological phenomena

AP Exam Preparation Sites

  • Old AP Biology Essay Questions- Old AP Biology Essay Questions (I have to get your exam questions from somewhere...)
  • Bubbabrain AP Review- Seems like some useful review games.  Have to select AP Biology from the list of "junior" or "senior" topics.
