[|Genetics - Pea Experiment] (Weblink) An interactive genetics experiment with breeding peas.

[|Biotechnology: Knocking out Genes] (Weblink) In this simulation, you will grow wild-type and knockout mutant plants. When a gene is knocked out, you will figure out which gene it was.

[|Regulation of Gene Expression] (Flipchart) A basic understanding of bacterial and eukaryotic regulation of gene expression. Derived from Campbell 8th edition AP Biology.

[|Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance] (Flipchart) Written for chapter 15 from the AP Biology 8th edition Campbell texbook. Includes information on sex chromosomes, autosomes, genetic disorders, genetic linkage maps and a review of Mendel's Laws.

[|DNA] (Flipchart) Chapter 16 on DNA from the Campbell 8th edition biology text.

[|Genetic Organizaton and Control] Great step-by-step animations about DNA and RNA in genetic organizaton and control (see links on right and tabs at bottom).

[|DNA Extraction Virtual Lab] (Weblink) DNA is extracted from human cells for a variety of reasons. With a pure sample of DNA you can test a newborn for a genetic disease, analyze forensic evidence, or study a gene involved in cancer. Try this virtual laboratory to perform a cheek swab and extract DNA from human cells.

[|Click and Clone] (Weblink) Students will learn about cell, DNA, and cloning with this simulation that asks students to make a clone of a brown mouse called Mimi.

[|Electrophoresis Virtual Gel Lab (DNA)] (Weblink) Have you ever wondered how scientists work with tiny molecules that they can't see? Here's your chance to try it yourself! Sort and measure DNA strands by running your own gel electrophoresis experiment.

[|Making DNA Template Strands] (Flipchart) Students draw out DNA strands and match up their template strands with them.

[|Cell Cycle and Mitosis] (Flipchart) Chapter 12 on the cell cycle, mitosis, and cancer from Campbell 8th edition for AP Biology by Pearson Education.

[|Mitosis] (Flipchart) Mitosis, genetic variation, karyotypes from chapter 13 in the Campbell 8th edition AP Biology textbook.

[|Cellular Respiraton] (Flipchart) A brief overview of cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, chemiosmosis, ETC, and fermentation. From chapter 9 of the Campbell Biology AP textbook.

[|Cellular Respiration] (Flipchart) - 3 part series This is a comprehensive, engaging overview of catabolic pathways that yield energy by oxidizing organic fuel. Students explore redox reactions, oxidation, reduction, and preview the stages of cellular respiration. This is Part One of a 3 Three Part series: Part 2- Glycolysis, Part 3-Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain/oxidative phoshorylation. [|Krebs Cycle] (Flipchart) - 3 part series Students engage in the third stage of cellular respiration- the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain/oxidative phoshorylation. This is a Three Part Series. This lesson uses Activotes and is perfect for AP Biology students. [|Glycolysis] (Flipchart) - 3 part series Students launch themselves in to the three main stages of respiration in this Three Part Series. Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate. The Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain are explored in Part Three.

[|A Tour of the Cell] (Flipchart) A tour of the cell which includes prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes and animal vs. plant. Written for AP Biology chapter 6 of the Campbell text.

[|Membranes] (Flipchart) This flipchart was designed for AP biology using Ch. 7 of the Campbell book, but it can be used for any study on membranes.

[|Macromolecules] (Flipchart) This flipchart covers chapter 5 on Macromolecules from the Campbell 8th Edition AP Biology text; includes information on proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes.

[|Metabolism] (Flipchart) This flipchart covers chapter 8 on metabolism from the AP Biology 8th Edition Campbell Biology textbook.

[|Phylogeny: Domains and Kingdoms] (Flipchart) A unit on phylogeny and how the three domains of Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya arose. The unit lends itself to the advancements in recognizing biodiversity and understanding cladograms, and phylogenetic trees. Assessment is included.

[|Evolution of Populations] (Flipchart) A unit on how populations evolve. Includes a case study, Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium problems, interactive tools and questions. Explains key concepts of genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection and mutation. This unit was created for an AP Biology class, but some concepts are simple enough for a regular Biology course.

[|Biotechnology] (Flipchart) A unit on biotechnology. Includes: gel electrophoresis, restriction enzymes, southern blot, cloning, etc. Unit created for AP Biology from Campbell Biology 8th edition.

[|Viruses] (Flipchart) Ch. 19 from Campbell Biology 8th edition: viruses, prions, AIDS/HIV, lytic and lysogenic cycles.
