Ever need that little bit of extra help in school, when a traditional classroom setting just isn’t working? Paul Anderson, a Biology teacher at Bozeman High School, may be able to help you. Mr. Anderson received a biology undergrad degree, a broad field science certification, and a master’s degree in science education at Montana State University. Anderson first started making videos after class for his students so that they may watch them and go over them in class the next day. Anderson then had the idea to post them on YouTube, where his videos quickly gained popularity from eager biology students around the world. He has created thousands of videos that have been viewed millions of times by students and shared by teachers.
Among his hundreds of videos, Anderson has created a wide variety of topics in science. Anything from a mitosis simulation, to a how-to video on the use of the “Chi-Squared Test”. He divides his channel into different subjects; Biology, AP biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and Physics, so that students will be able to easier find their desired topic. Anderson will explain the material verbally, along with visuals and written demonstrations.
Along with Students, Teachers also find his videos useful and use them as a tool for their classroom. Teachers can share a video with students during class, answer questions if needed, and do practice activities over the material.
What makes Bozeman Science, the name of the YouTube channel, so different? The fact that his videos are explained so thoroughly and students can replay and pause the lecture as needed makes him a one-of-a-kind teacher. Often students may not fully understand the material in class, but can easily come home and review the matter with a teacher on their screen. Students from around the world can access his videos and tutorials for FREE. With the mouse as his chalk, and the screen as his chalkboard, it’s no wonder students are raving about his channel. Bozeman Science brings learning beyond the classroom and into the online world. It’s amazing how far education has come in technology, and how quickly online education is being revolutionized.
