I'm taking AP Biology this year and could use some extra help. Does anyone know of any great YouTube channels that cover college-level biology topics in a way that's easy to understand?
Sure, YouTube can be a great resource to solidify your understanding of college-level biology concepts. Here are some channels you may find useful:
- "Khan Academy": Khan Academy has a comprehensive catalog of videos covering many different topics in biology, from cell structure to ecology. Each video is presented engagingly and the explanations are generally very clear.
- "Bozeman Science": Run by AP Biology teacher Paul Andersen, Bozeman Science's videos are particularly useful for high school students studying for the AP Biology exam. He goes through each of the exam's units and touches on key concepts and ideas.
- “The Amoeba Sisters”: This channel takes a light-hearted approach to make science fun and approachable. It covers a wide range of biology-related topics with animated videos, perfect for visual learners.
- "Crash Course": Co-created by Hank Green, the biology playlist on Crash Course is very extensive and covers a broad range of topics. The videos are short, engaging, and packed with information.
Just remember that while these channels provide a lot of information, they should be used as a supplement to your course material, not a substitute. Make sure you are still closely following your course curriculum and doing any other necessary preparations for the AP exam!
