 * GENERAL**

http://biologyoracle.podomatic.com/ You can download podcasts from this site on biology lessons given by another VCE biology teacher. Try one out and bring your thoughts back to class.

I listened to the one about evidence for evolution. It was really helpful -he highlights key knowledge, and summerised everything we went through in class. Good to do if your too tierd to do work! My only complaint is he says 'like' alot and makes lame jokes. the end.
