Abstract

“Biology Myth-Killers” is an activity designed to identify and correct common misconceptions for high school and college introductory biology courses. Students identify common myths, which double as biology misconceptions, and use appropriate sources to share the “truth” about the myths. This learner-centered activity is a fun and engaging way to correct misconceptions and prepare students to overcome other important misconceptions.

Key Words:
  • Misconception
