Vocabulary Cards

This resource presents a well-researched approach to learning biology vocabulary through vocabulary cards, created by Susi Algrim and Justin Brull. The cards foster connections between words and concepts while aiding students in understanding meanings. Each card features a targeted word on one side and a definition on the other, promoting memorization and comprehension. The content includes key vocabulary such as "cytokinesis" and "oligosaccharide," alongside educational strategies like the Frayer Model that empowers students to engage with their learning through definitions, characteristics, examples, and illustrations.
