Stationery for Biology?

[Azula]

I'm doing 3/4 bio (without 1/2) next year in year 11 and seeing as I have never been very organised or anything, what should my bio set up be like? Aside from textbooks, what exercise books/binders/stationery did you have success with?

At the moment, I am thinking of getting:

• two spiral (although I'm really not a fan of these things) note books- one for notes etc., and one for review questions.
• a plastic sheet display folder to store random handouts, tests etc.
• a box folder to store those things in.

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions =)

Thanks

i found great success with simple loose lined A4 sheets, 2 ring folder, plastic pockets and a pen.

I applied the same approach to every subject.

I had a 96 page book that I filled with expression notes. Sort of like a log book, I used it as a guide to see how I could express a particular answer. E.g. What to write about when explaining the denaturation of enzymes.

I used this system for 1/2 and will use it for 3/4.
I had tab dividers for each key knowledge point and one binder folder per outcome. Used looseleaf for notes and plastic pockets for handouts and used a 240 page exercise book for questions and revision. and a display book for receiving tests and assignments back.

Did you guys buy the Nature of Biology 2 textbook or flexisaver?

Imma buy the textbook. The flexisaver is really annoying because it's so easy to lose sheets of the textbook and pages would go out of order quickly. (although you could just pop it into a binder)

However, I've heard a few people preferring the flexisaver. It is cheaper. And you can take the chapters and pages you need for school and leave the rest in class, so you don't get a hunch from a heavy backpack.

I bought the textbook with the eBookPlus code inside. The Flexisaver was on the booklist for 1/2 this year so I bought it. However, most of my pages ripped so I gave up and used the eBookPlus code for majority of the semester.

I personally never took the textbook to class. I would do all the chapter work with the library copy of the text book at lunch or at home. It reduces weight and is effective. I found it easier and helpful to just listen to the teacher and learn during class and do the question etc. as practice at home/lunch.
