I teach biology and anatomy and physiology to college students, and I build the resources I wished I’d had.
I’m Corey Christen. I hold a PhD and teach biology, anatomy and physiology, and related sciences asynchronously to college students across the United States. Everything on this site comes out of that work — the lesson bundles, the professional development courses, the equipment recommendations, the book. None of it is theoretical. It is what I use, what I have watched fail, and what I have rebuilt until it held up.
Why this site exists
Most teaching resources are written by people who are no longer in a classroom, and it shows. The lesson plans assume a class that behaves. The professional development assumes time you do not have. The equipment guides are written by affiliate marketers who have never focused a microscope.
I am still teaching. When I say a lesson structure survives contact with a real class, or that a specification on a product listing is marketing rather than optics, that comes from doing it — not from research. That is the only advantage I have over a content farm, and it is the thing I try to put into everything here.
What you’ll find here
- Professional development courses — six-section courses on curiosity, scientific thinking, lesson design, assessment, and teacher burnout. Six sections each: lessons, quizzes, and a preview lesson you can read before buying.
- Science lesson bundles — standards-aligned materials for high school biology, physics, and earth science.
- A classroom and lab equipment guide: seventy-nine items for elementary through college classrooms, chosen on specifications rather than commission rates. All of them are sold by Amazon, not by me.
- The Price of Illiteracy — my book on why science literacy matters and what its decline is costing us.

Where you actually buy
Not everything here is sold here. The professional development courses and sponsorships are sold by Professor C’s Academy LLC on this site. The worksheets and unit bundles are sold on Teachers Pay Teachers. The classroom equipment and the book are sold by Amazon, and those links leave this site. How buying works sets out who takes the payment in each case.
If you want the longer version of why this exists — the problem it is trying to solve and what I am actually building — that is on the mission page.
