Abstract: 
Documents that cause misconceptions and related to important biological concepts were collected from relevant websites, virtual libraries, current lecture notes, articles, films shot in the laboratory, and films on YouTube and TV documentary channels. Thus, audiovisual and literary research material was prepared.
In order to measure the effect of the material developed in the research on education, we conducted a preliminary study and positive results were obtained.
All collected data were evaluated according to scientific methods and criteria.
In the research, 328 visual, audio, literary and relational concepts from 100 scientific documentary films about biology were selected and prepared by 3 biology faculty members who are experts on the subject.
The data is published on the Nadidem website in alphabetical order at http://nadidem.net/kf/oz/oz.html.
In the purpose and importance of the research section, the place of the study in science and the gaps it fills are explained.
The virtual tools used in the research, the techniques, methods and all stages of the processes are explained in the material and method section.
The achievements of the research, its contribution to education and the results are presented in the results and recommendations section.
