IB Resources
In here, you will find links to help further and improve the understanding and knowledge of each unit.
IB Biology Standards Resources:
Easy to use link but not from the official online curriculum center: http://ibguides.com/biology/home
Introduction to Chemistry:
For this webpage, focus on Table 2.2: The most common and important elements in the human body. This is one of the IB Standards that the textbook doesn't cover:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/staff/m/b/mbt102/bisci4online/chemistry/chemistry1.htm
This website covers more than what we cover in class. However, it nicely lays out the basic chemistry needed to understand biology. The first three sections are highly recommended. http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/tutorials/chemistry/main.html
