AnimalBio Modules

10 modules organized around research questions

Animal Biology is comprised of ten modules that build an understanding of science and nature.  Each module has two guides with mini-lectures, labs, questions, and products you can make.  Each guide has four sections (web pages) for exploring, describing, and explaining the natural world.

Where to start?

If you are taking BI 102 at Oregon State University, we will be completing one module each week with directions available through Canvas.  If you are homeschooling or learning for fun, we recommend starting with the first module and working through each in order, but you can also select a favorite topic and start there.  No matter which you choose; exercise safety and minimize impact on organisms and their environment.
