Good morning,
ReplyDeleteI found you via Homeschool Freebie of the Day. What wonderful resources! Thank you so much for putting this all together and sharing. God bless! :)
Karen (in Ontario)
Really? My blog was on HomeSchool Freebie of the Day? Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know how you found me. I often wonder...
And you're welcome, and glad you liked it. =)
I too found you on homeschool freebie of the day. :) My son has really been enjoying his biology this year. We will be referring to your page for sure. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMichelle
I also found your blog on Homeschool Freebie of the Day - it made me SMILE!! Great blog - thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI found you via Homeschool Freebie of the Day also! :-) We're going to start Biology this year and I'm very excited to have access to some wonderful resources to go with our studies! Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteCindy R.
You're probably going to see a lot of us from Homeschool Freebie of the Day. That's how I got here. Thanks for this wonderful resources!
ReplyDeleteYep, me, too! Homeschool Freebie of the Day! Looks great!

ReplyDeleteI came through Homeschool Freebie of the Day too. Your site has a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRene
I, too, found you through Homeschool Freebie of the Day. And if you can do anything to help my teenage-science-hating-daughter to finally finish Apologia Biology, you will have earned an extra jewel in your crown! :) I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteWhat module is she in? IMO, it gets easier about halfway through the book.
Marty, I found your blog site through Homeschool Freebie of the Day. What a blessing you have shared here! wow! Thank you so very much for sharing so many things you've 'saved here' to use yourself, yet now we and our children get to enjoy what you've found to use for learning, Marty!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

I wish I had found you last year, but I still have one that needs to finish the 2nd half of the biology book and 2 more coming up that will need this information. What a wonderful resource!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Missy
I, too came from Homeschool Freebie of the day. Sorry, I forgot to mention that, before. I love your blog, though. It's really well put together and very informative. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMomalot
Marty, I also found you via Homeschool Freebie of the Day, I guess you'll never get tired of hearing that!! :-) We are currently doing Physical Science, andwill be doing Biology next year. You've gathered an amazing set of resources! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these comments! =)
ReplyDeleteAnd Karen, how did you get the hot link for HSFotD? I don't see any options here in the comment box I'm typing in.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful resources for study! These will greatly assist me and my children this year. I'm adding a link to here from my "Free Homeschool Units" page so I can find you frequently! Thanks! =D
ReplyDeleteHi! I also found you via the Homeschool Freebie of the Day Link (they're great). I can't thank you enough for sharing all of this information! THANK YOU SO MUCH! BTW, I also like your rapture comment! :) He he he Lynn
ReplyDeleteI DID NOT find you through Homeschool Freebie of the Day. I just sat down at 11:00 at night to piece together some videos and pictures to make our biology lesson a little more fun tomorrow. I "stumpled" upon your site. Thank you so much for passing on your great finds! It is an amazing gift to me, not to have to stay up another couple of hours. I pray abundant blessings on you for being generous with the rest of us. Tambra
ReplyDeleteNordyke and Lynn, glad you liked the rapture comment. =)
ReplyDeleteAnd Tambra, I'm so glad you "stumpled" upon my site. =)
And all of y'all are very welcome. I love blogging, and I love science, and I love saving all in one place the things I've found.
Hooray! =)
Thank you so much for this resource! I found you on a Google search, and I am so happy I did! I am teaching Physical Science and Biology this year, and having all these resources in one place has been a huge blessing.
ReplyDeleteJamie, you're very welcome! =)
ReplyDeleteI love both Physical and Biology, and haven't decided which I like better.
Happy to have been a blessing to you. =)
Thanks so much for your blog! My whole co -op class uses it. we are in biology and are loving it! Thanks again:) God bless -Bethany
ReplyDeleteHello, Bethany! Thanks so much. I'm so glad y'all were able to use my blog posts. =)
Deletehello:) I have taken general and Iam on module 15 in biology (so almost done) and I found your site at the beginning of biology. I wish I had it for general;) And i love it soooo much! Very helpful! Next semester we are doing chemistry and it will be sad being on my own without having your website to help me out:( beacause i dont think yall have done it? -Bree
ReplyDeleteHello, Bree! Thanks for commenting. I am very sorry, but no, I won't be posting anything for Chemistry.
DeleteMy son may be using Chemistry 101 this fall, but I won't be having a class. I didn't take chem in highschool, so this will all be new to me! =)
I have had a few emails from people asking about chemistry, so I will be posting a few links to online helps that might benefit someone. Stay tuned! =)
Hello again Mrs. Marty! Its Bree I will stay tuned and I hope you do post soem links:) The videos that you post,do you get them from a certian website? Or do you just search youtube for the ones you want?
ReplyDeleteBree, normally, I search youtube for whatever I can find. But it takes a lot of time, so for chemistry I do not plan to do that since I will not be having a class. However, I did find a youtube channel with a lot of chem videos, so I want to post that link and a few other website links that also look to be good resources for chemistry. I hope to get my post out by the end of the day or sometime tomorrow. =)
DeleteMrs. Marty, thanks so much! take your time I'am in no rush;) I hope I will love chem as much as I love biology! -Bree:)
ReplyDeleteHello again, Bree! I wish I could meet you. =) It's so nice to find a respectful teenager (you calling me Mrs. Marty and being so sweet in your comments). =)
DeleteThe Chemistry post is up now, and I actually have 3 links to places that have videos. One of them simply has a video for each element, but the other two have actual teaching videos. You will need to do a bit of research as you go to find the ones for the module you're in, but these seem to be grouped in such a way that you may be able to find what you need without too much trouble.
Let me know how your year is going! =)
Thanks soooo much!!! Mrs. Marty;) This should help a TON:) I wish I could meet you too! You seem very sweet! I have been raised to say mrs. and mr. so its the norm;) lol:D I will keep you updated when we start chem! Thanks again! -Bree
ReplyDeleteYou're so very welcome! =)
DeleteThanks for this links Mrs. Marty! This will be a helpful source of info for our homeschooling.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! =)
DeleteIf I've taken life science and physical science, do I still have to take biology?
ReplyDeleteThat depends on the requirements for your state.
DeleteBy looking at the definition, Life Science *seems* similar to biology, but since I'm not familiar enough with it, I'm not sure if it covers the same things.
I'm sorry I'm not able to give you a definite answer.
PLEASE PLEASE consider making a Marine Biology resource. We LOVE IT!! It has been a life saver for us.
ReplyDeleteHello, Madison! I'm so sorry, but I only blogged about the subjects my kids were doing. We didn't do Marine Biology.
DeleteBut I did find a couple of places that might help a bit.
This Pinterest page has links to dissections: http://www.pinterest.com/tm_burriss/apologia-marine-biology/
And Donna Young has flashcards and schedules:
http://donnayoung.org/apologia/schedule.htm#bio3
It would be neat though to compile a list of helpful sites, wouldn't it! So whatever you find, let me know. I will look around a bit more too. After I get several that look promising, I may start a section for that.
Thanks, Madison!
What grade do students normally take Biology in?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on what state you live in. In NC, we usually take it in 10th.
DeleteOh My Goodness!! Thank you SOOOO much for having this information and sharing it!! I am having a co-op this year for the first time and for the first time doing Apologia Biology and was having such a hard time!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, not only for sharing EVERYTHING you did but being SO DETAILED! I LOVE DETAIL! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Gina! =) =)
DeleteThanks for the info o do this course to
ReplyDeleteI am coming back to this site again in 2020 in teaching other homeschoolers Biology. I liked it when teaching my own children! Thanks for keeping the site activie.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! =) I am not active on here anymore, but have left it as-is for anyone who can use what is posted. Hoping you can find what you need. =)
DeleteThank you so very much for keeping this site active. I stumbled on it from families sharing comments on an Apologia support facebook page. We are just figuring out this homeschool thing and your list of links and resources are wonderfully helpful :) Leanne.
