Introduction to Molecular Biology (University Level)

Molecular biology opens up a fascinating world of invisible processes that sustain all life on Earth. In this introductory class, we will explore the basic molecules that compose living organisms – cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.

We will first examine cells, the fundamental units of life. Peer inside them with microscopes to understand their structure and function. Next, we will study DNA, the molecule that operates as an instruction manual containing all the information required to build an organism. We will learn how DNA replicates itself and gets passed to new cells during cell division.

From there, we will look at RNA, which translates genetic information from DNA and assists in assembling proteins. Proteins, in turn, carry out most of the work within cells and comprise much of your tissues and organs. We will see how changes in DNA can alter proteins and affect an organism’s traits.

This class will provide an overview of key concepts in molecular biology. You will get to explore the microscopic world that makes life possible! See how cells work and how DNA, RNA, and proteins interact in creative ways to produce the amazing diversity of living things – from simple bacteria to complex humans. It will be an illuminating journey!

Welcome to the fascinating world of molecular biology! In this introductory class, we'll explore the basic building blocks that make up living organisms - cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins. Get ready to zoom in deep to see these microscopic molecules up close. We'll start by looking at cells under a microscope. What do they look like? How do they function? Then we'll dive into the structure of DNA and how it acts like an instruction manual, containing all the information needed to build an organism. We'll learn how DNA is copied and passed on to new cells during cell division. Next up is RNA, which helps transmit genetic information from DNA and assists in building proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells and make up much of your hair, skin, muscles and organs. We'll see how mutations in DNA can lead to changes in proteins, affecting how an organism looks and functions. This introductory class will give you an overview of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology. Get ready to explore the nanoscale world that makes life possible! Discover how cells work and what DNA, RNA and proteins do to create the diversity of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. It will be a fascinating journey!

IB Biology SL tutoring for those in need of extra support with anything biology-related, whether it's to do with anatomy or plants!
I completed Biology HL in IB with a 6 overall. I am now studying it at the university level and am ready to help students struggling with IB Biology SL. I am familiar with the syllabus and can help students break down complex topics into simpler concepts that are easy to digest. We will begin with a lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. At the end of every class I expect students to let me know what they need help with next time or tell me 3 days before the next lesson at the latest. This ensures each class makes the most of our time together. At the beginning of the next lesson we will do a few practice questions to revise out previous class and continue with the next desired topic. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

Teaching Science to middle school students. Teaching Biology to high school students
Teaching science to middle school students in Arabic and English What do we study in science? Science is one of the most important academic subjects during which the student studies life in general. He studies the human body, animals, and the environment, and monitors human and natural phenomena and how to observe these phenomena, develop hypotheses for them, and conduct experiments on them. Explaining the science subject in a smooth and simple way that makes it easy for the student to understand and assimilate. The science subject is one of the subjects that requires understanding and concentration. The student must be present in mind. Good luck to all students 🥰 Explaining biology to high school students, in Arabic and English. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structures, functions, growth, development, distribution, and classification. Modern biology is a broad field consisting of many branches and sub-specializations, but it includes some unified general concepts that link its various branches and upon which all studies and research are based. Explaining the subject of biology in an easy and simple way that facilitates the student’s comprehension, understanding and understanding. Biology is a scientific subject that requires focus and the student to be present in his mind. Good luck to all students

science, biology, test prep, test analysis for all ages
Biology is an important subject because it allows us to understand the natural world and the human body. As a midwifery student in TAU, I have come to appreciate the vital role that biology plays in my field of study and work. It enables me to provide quality care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and reproductive health. Biology is considered crucial in most fields specifically healthcare. It helps us understand the processes that occur within cells and how organisms function and interact. This understanding allows us to comprehend the changes that occur in a woman's body during pregnancy, childbirth, different medical conditions and diseases. It also helps us identify any potential complications and provide appropriate care and support. Furthermore, biology plays a significant role in raising environmental awareness. With concerns about climate change and environmental degradation, understanding the impact of human activities on ecosystems and biodiversity is crucial. Biology provides insights into conservation efforts, sustainable practices, and the importance of preserving our natural resources. The knowledge of biology allows us to advocate for environmentally friendly practices and educate patients on the importance of maintaining a healthy environment for themselves and the next generation. About me: I am passionate about providing quality care to women during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and reproductive health in general. My experience as a midwife and a gynecologist's assistant has equipped me with practical skills and knowledge in the field of healthcare. I have a strong command of English and Farsi, which is crucial for effective communication and teaching. Moreover, my TTC certificate reflect my commitment to professional development and my ability to effectively teach and communicate complex concepts. Overall, my background as a midwifery student and my experience in the healthcare field, combined with my language proficiency and teaching certifications, make me well-prepared to provide biology tutoring courses.
