  Biophysics is a subject that is spread over many disciplines and transcends
the skills and knowledge of the individual student. This makes it challenging
both to teach and to learn. Educational materials are described to aid in
teaching undergraduates biophysics in an interdisciplinary manner. Projects
have been devised on topics that range from x-ray diffraction to the Hodgkin
Huxley equations. They are team-based and encourage collaboration. The projects
make extensive use of software written in Python/Scipy which can be modified to
explore a large range of possible phenomena. The software can also be used in
lectures and in the teaching of more traditional biophysics courses.
