​The biology course is organized by theme.  Both standard level (SL) students and higher level (HL) students study the four themes at four levels of biological organization (molecules, cells, organisms and ecosystems).  HL students study some of these topics to greater depth.

IB Biology

Welcome to IB Biology

Recent stories involve national security (is bio-terrorism a reality?), emerging diseases (what damage could a pandemic bird flu cause?),
environmental ills (are humans impacting global temperatures?), genetic discoveries (will human cloning become a reality), and so on. 

IB biology is designed to give you the analytical tools and content knowledge which will aid you as you grapple with these issues and others as you continue your scientific endeavors and fulfill your role as a citizen and future lawmaker.

​I also appreciate hearing from users of this site. Let me know if you find mistakes or if there are other features that you think might be helpful 

biology resources

• Biology for Life: Already in  the previous post, but worth sharing again.
• Bioknowledgy: Probably the biology resource I use most. Awesome.
• IBO Biology Teacher Support Material: Great resource for teacher of IB Biology. Access is password protected and associated with IB World Schools.
• UC-Davis BioWiki: A broad overview of university-level biology information.
• Mitosis and Cytokinesis: Animation from McGraw-Hill.
• Bioman biology game: Includes online games as well as links to native apps.
• Carbon cycle: A nice, simple animation from the University of Alberta, Canada.
• John Kyrk’s biology animations: Simply amazing animations for a range of topics in biology. Incredible attention to detail.
• Learn.Genetics: A well-organized genealogy and genetics site from Utah.
• Meiosis video: Paul Andersen and Bozeman Science. ‘Nuff said.
• Mitosis world: A collection of links about…mitosis!
• The Plant Cell Journal: A scientific publication from the American Society of Plant Biologists.
• Animations and tutorials from Mr Hardin’s class: I don’t know this teacher, but he’s collated a lot of useful tutorials and animations for biology.
• Transpiration animation: Simple click-through animation appropriate for primary and middle school.
• Understanding Evolution: UC-Berkeley’s exhaustive collection of evolution resources.
• Sex determination: An animated TED-Ed video.
• Evolution labs from NOVA: Great interactive resource for learning about the interaction of genetics and natural selection.
• The Biology Project: The University of Arizona’s extensive collection of biology resources. Geared for high school and university students.
• i-Biology: Another website I regularly consult for IB Bio and MYP biology units.
• A World of Biology: Ms Frost’s IB Biology-aligned class weebly.
• Lab protocols for the new IB Biology: A useful guide for IB Bio students and teachers.
• Punnett Square Calculator: An interactive, color-coded guide to monohybrid crosses, dihybrid crosses, and more complex crosses. Great for a flipped lesson or two.
• InThinking IB Biology site: An actively collated collection of activities and resources for teachers and students in IB Biology classes.
• 3-D Interactive Biological Molecules: Exactly what the title says. Good for IB Bio.
