CURRIKI REVIEW

  • Reviewer Comments:

    This collection contains a wide variety of activities, labs, slide shows and worksheets on the topics of Cells, Cellular Transport, DNA, Photosynthesis & Respiration, Mitosis & Meiosis, Genetics, Evolution, and Classification. Additional units on Microscopes and Biochemistry are mentioned, but do not appear to be part of this collection. Much of the material is suitable for both middle school and high school students, although some of the pieces (such as the Photosynthesis PowerPoint presentation) have complex material better suited for more advanced biology classes. Overall, this "full course" would be improved by the inclusion of objectives or answer keys, although teachers will find many pieces in this collection that can be immediately useful or easily adaptable for use in the classroom.

      Where did the units on Microscopes & Biochemistry go (Chapters 1 & 2)?
