Science PowerPoint Lectures
The Power Point lectures available through these web pages are actual lectures used in 100-level college biology courses. The lectures are listed and linked at the bottom of this web page. Please check back regularly, as these lectures are usually updated every 8 to 16 weeks.
NOTE!! If You're Having PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING A LECTURE ...
PROBLEM: 'Help! I get a 'BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED' message when I try to download a PowerPoint lecture!' - Science Prof Online is a Google website, and only allows for a certain amount of site traffic and downloads at any particular time.
SOLUTION: If you try to download a PPT lecture and get that message, just try again later. You'll have the best luck downloading lectures during non-peak hours, such as very late at night or very early in the morning. Keep trying! The lectures are worth the effort! Thanks for your patience.
What You Will Find Here
The Power Point lectures available through these web pages are actual lectures used in 100-level college biology courses that I teach.
Fill-in-the-blank and Notes Format
Fill-in-the-blank
The information on the Power Point slides in each lecture contains blanks that the students fill in. If find that having blanks encourages the student to follow along (rather than drift off) and encourages attendance.
Instructors can find the answers to the blanks on the notes view of each PPT slide.
How To Find the Lecture You are Looking For
The links to these lectures are organized in two ways:
- Listed by topic on this main page.
- Listed by the course that the lecture series is a part of:
I. Microbiology Lecture PowerPoints
There is also a collection of Microbiology Lab PowerPoints that are used in the laboratory section of the Introductory Microbiology course that I teach.
II. Cell Biology Lecture PowerPoints
NEW! Most Recently Updated Lectures
Nearly all of the lectures were updated over spring break March 2009.

Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due
This is a collection of lectures that I have given repeatedly, always tweaking and changing as I try to improve them. The materials in the lectures have been gathered from a multitude of places. Textbooks, my head, the Power Point lectures of other instructors.
Some of the lectures include credits for all images and material. But as this is a time-intensive process, I have not completed this task for all lectures.
If you run across an image or material that you are the author of, please contact me at tamiport@yahoo.com. I will either give you proper credit for your work, or remove the material from this website, whichever you'd prefer.
Corrections
Although I have spent a great deal of time creating these lectures, no doubt there is an error or two (or possibly more). If you find a mistake, please drop me an email (tamiport@yahoo.com) so that I can make a correction.
