Crash Course, hosted by Hank Green, has some very useful videos for all different classes and topics. While the main focus of Crash Course biology is focused on the major topics for the AP Biology exam, many of these videos are still valuable. Click HERE to access the full AP Biology Playlist.
Unit 1 Lesson 11
Focuses on the basics of biological molecules. This video is a great support for that information.
Unit 2, Lesson 2
Investigates the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. This video goes into a little more depth about the details of plant cells.
Unit 2 Lesson 2
Investigates the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. This video goes into a little more depth about the details of animal cells.
Unit 2, Lesson 5 - Photosynthesis
Investigates the light and dark reactions that work together to turn CO2 +H2O in the presences of light into glucose and O2.
Here is a great resource to review this concept.
Unit 2, Lesson 6 - Energy Conversions
This lesson focuses on how living organisms turn food into useful energy with or without the presences of oxygen
This video is great support.
Unit 2, Lesson 4 - I like to Move It
Investiagtes the cell (plasma) membrane how how semipermiable membranes work under different conditions.
Here is a resource to support this.
Unit 2, Lesson 8 - Cell Division
Investigates what happens doing mitosis and the 4 major stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telopphse.
Here is a video resources for support.
Unit 3, Lesson 3 Probabiliy and Heredity
Investgating genotype, phenotype and using a punnet square to determine probable outcomes offspring.
Unit 3, Lesson 4 Meiosis
Investigates the formation of gametes (sex cells) and the process of meiosis. This has some similiarties to mitosis, but lots of differences as well.
Unit 3, Lesson 5 DNA
Exploring the structure of the double helix DNA and base pairs. Also exploring how DNA is duplicated in preparation for cell divisions.
Unit 3, Lesson 6 DNA to Protein
Investigating the process of making proteins starting with the DNA and mRNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm and with the rRNA and tRNA.
