Biology Interactive Review Activities
Update 9/1/2019: My older review activities have been updated to be HTML5 compliant. They should perform better in modern browsers and adapt better to mobile devices. Thanks to the authors of the HotPotatoes program for making this possible!
I have also created my first new biology review activities in years. They are the first of many that I will be producing for Biology. These activities will use the iSpring format that I have used extensively with my newest Chemistry reviews.
These are not graded assignments. They are intended only as practice of concepts and vocabulary that are essential to your success in this course. Please contact me if you find errors in these documents.
Each time you reload the activity, the problems will be in a different order, and the answers will be reshuffled! Most of these activities will launch in a new browser window.
