​​What Are the SPO Virtual Classrooms?

Science Prof Online has online classrooms, including the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom (featured on this page), the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. and will soon feature a Virtual Anatomy & Physiology Classroom. Each was created as material to supplement real, live high school and college-level introductory science courses.

You don't need to be enrolled in the actual classes to access the free materials here. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in biology may find this information useful and is welcome to use it.

The Virtual Classrooms are organized by lecture into several topics, each lecture topic typically includes:

  • PowerPoint lectures
  • lecture study guide 
  • class note articles
  • practice test and review questions
  • practice exercises and assignments
  • animations and movies
  • links to support lecture material

New resources are regularly added to the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom. For updates, follow us on Twitter @ScienceProfSPO.
