We are collecting here resources for instructors teaching physics to Life Science majors. This project is supported by NSF CCLI DUE-0737458. The resources are organized in two ways: by biological application (first table) and by physics topic (second table).

This page is very much a work in progress. We expect to be adding items on and off until at least September 2010. Any feedback on the items (useability, accuracy) would be most welcome.

Other resources for the same student audience are

Humanized Physics Project

Sense-making tutorials from the University of Maryland Project.
