Biology in Focus 2nd Edition Reading Guides and Videos



Next year, we are switching from Campbell's Biology 8th Edition to Biology in Focus 2nd Edition (BIF). The guided reading questions that I've been using (and blogged about here) were an edited version of the Holtzclaws' reading guides for Campbell's 8th edition. I used the Holtzclaws' AP Biology Review book to help me to know what questions to eliminate to shorten the reading guides so that they were only asking questions that were key to helping students understand content important for the AP Biology curriculum.

For many of the chapters, I just needed to change chapter and section numbers to adjust the guide for BIF. Other chapters combined the content of 2 Campbell chapters, so that took a little more work. Occasionally one section was moved from one chapter to another. I've been feverishly working on updating these for the entire book since I wanted to print hard copies for each chapter before I checked out of my classroom for the summer, so I can work on making keys for each of them while I'm home on summer "break." I'll include links to each of them here. I do imagine that I'll need to do some revision as I go through each of the guides this summer and fortunately they will show up automatically in the links.
