The excel study guides are awsome.
I studdied using my sylabus (or how ever u spell it), my bio text book, and my excel book.
I got 2nd by half a mark in my recent half yearlies.
I deff recomend getting the excel book.

Telepathetic commented that Macquarie is better than Excel and I completely agree - Angela have you seen Macquarie...

http://www.world-of-dawkins.com/index.shtml

btw which is the better textbook jacaranda or heinemann? They were just described without any judgement made - or is there a better one out there?

Angela86 · 12 May 2004, 12:01 PM

No I haven't seen the Macquarie, but I have the PE Macquarie one and i don't like how it is set out.

Biology in context is pretty good

TheKing · 7 Jun 2004, 10:00 AM

i studied by class notes and school provided textbook and i'm first so far

if the format in the textbook is easy for you to understand you really don't need much else
all the info should be in there and if not your class teacher should have given you notes on them.

malkin86 · 8 Jun 2004, 9:11 AM

www.newscientist.com - science news, also has sections on things like DNA, cloning.

http://www.mmv.org/pages/page_main.htm

Medicines for Malaria Venture page - a good start on the malaria sections.

www.accessexcellence.org - good for blueprint/code broken

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank...es/do53dn.html
history of DNA

tidepool.st.usm.edu/crswr/protsynthmov.html

protein synthesis animated

http://www.roslin.ac.uk/ - the lab that made Dolly.

davey336 · 5 Nov 2004, 1:24 AM

OK, here's a link to my notes.

The entire course is covered, along with the Biotechnology option and numerous typos.

This is hosted on an old computer of mine, and I don't think it will download any quicker than 10KB/sec

Yeah, that's because you don't have a shit teacher like me!

http://www.ssdec.nsw.edu.au/science/biology/index.html - course outlines for both Prelim and HSC Biology

www.archive.org - the Internet Archive - bookmark this and use it every time you find a 404 to get some archived info.

http://www.anbg.gov.au/anbg/index-site.html - The Australian National Botanic Gardens website - probably more useful for the prelim course, but still.
