Exam Preparation

This concise book provides an introduction to the scientific method of inquiry. This book not only presents a methodical approach to the proper conduct of science but also contains comprehensive coverage of pseudoscience and fallacies.

This book presents a clear and current understanding of the ecological world, and how individual citizens can participate in practical decisions on ecological issues. It tackles such issues as global warming, ecology and health, organic farming, species extinction and adaptation, and endangered species.

Including 4,000 clear and concise entries, this book covers all the commonly encountered terms and concepts in biology, biophysics, and biochemistry, as well as terms from medicine and paleontology taking into account the recent advances in these fields. 

This dictionary covers classical disciplines (botany, zoology, bacteriology, mineralogy, paleontology, etc.), while focusing particularly on concepts, strategies, and methodologies.

This resource explains all of the elements needed for a fuller understanding of geology in a concise and understandable way.

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) received funding from the National Science Foundation to prepare a middle school mathematics module incorporating real-time weather data.  This section of the module includes information on basic concepts in thermodynamics.

Quick-reference for beginners on various parts of the human body and how they work together. Includes icons, other navigational aids, tear-out sheets, and full-color appendices.

This article discusses genetic information that had seemed lost forever, but which turned out to linger in the remains of long-dead plants and animals. Evolutionary change can at last be observed directly.

Students in biology will find this site useful for information on molecular biology. At the bottom of the main chapters, you will find links to relevant documentation.

Part of a series that allows students to review in-depth or briefly, depending on the amount of review that they require. Chapters are broken down into topics, all information is presented in bulleted or outline format, and includes many illustrations with detailed biochemical structures.

Accessible via the Internet, the American Board’s Biology Refresher Course contains more than 300 pages of material and was designed to help you review your knowledge for the biology exam. The course is self-paced, allowing you to dedicate more time to material that needs intense review and skip over material you already know. The course incorporates animated tutorials and activities, chapter quizzes, detailed lessons and illustrations, and a video demonstration component.

Enrolled candidates can access the course through http://www.abcte.org/courses/biology/index.html using their ABCTE username and password.

This easy to use book, with an innovative and interactive media program, emphasizes concepts without sacrificing scientific accuracy. The new MediaTutor, found at the end of each chapter, integrates the book and media by providing a brief description of the CD or WEB activity and the time requirement for completion. Major topics include The Life Of A Cell, Patterns Of Inheritance, Evolution, Plant Anatomy And Physiology; Animal Anatomy And Physiology; Ecology.

This quick reference on Cell Biology and Histology contains clinical correlations in each chapter, annotated answers, 400 review questions, and a comprehensive practice examination.

This issue of Scientific American has many articles dedicated to the study of cancer, including articles about the causes and the research that is being done towards possible cures.

This site contains information and resources for cell and molecular biologists.

This book describes how cells work. It presents a new, simpler approach to fundamental processes such as movement, transport, division, and communication, based on sound physical principles.

Have you ever wondered about the differences between liquids, gases, and solids? Or what actually happens when something burns? What exactly is a solution? An acid? A base? This is chemistry—the composition and structure of substances composing all matter, and how they can be transformed. This interactive guide gives you a fresh approach to this subject.

This introduction to physical science for non-majors covers cosmology, Newtonian mechanics, the nature of matter, the periodic table and chemical reactions, quantum mechanics, and nuclear reactions. The conceptual approach emphasizes the role of ideas, concepts, and models in science rather than an accumulation of facts. A list of study questions accompanies each chapter.

Describes the nature and implications of Darwinian evolution.

The Dictionary of Cell Biology was first published in 1989, and has since been translated into several languages. It is intended to provide quick access to easily-understood and cross-referenced definitions of terms frequently encountered while reading the modern biology literature. This server contains the text of the Third edition, published in Late 1999.

A clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing.

This website discusses the discoveries from the 1600s to the 1800s that led to the acceptance of biological evolution.

This web site contains tutorials on basic topics in physics. It also includes a tutorial on basic math skills required for physics. The tutorials clearly explain the basic concepts and provide practice opportunities.

This site contains featured articles and links related to the field of Ecology.

This survey emphasizes broad, up-to-date coverage of basic topics and principles in geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy.
