Biology

I have not added anything to this site since 2014, but have left it as-is for anyone coming across it.  
Please read here before emailing me.  Thanks! 


Update:
Fall of 2013, we will be using a different biology.  Check it out!  =)

New: Biology 101 tab

We use the 2nd edition of Apologia's Biology that also may be found on ebay, Amazon, ChristianBook.com, Finders-Keepers.net, or used book stores.
►Read here to see what you need.
►Read more at Sahm-I-Am to see helpful links for Apologia's Biology.

►I have posted pictures of our experiments that we did each module in Biology at my main blog, Sahm I Am.

Other Biology Bloggers:  These ladies are in co-ops and do experiments with several students each week.  =)

  12. Oh no, Tracy!
    What module is she in? IMO, it gets easier about halfway through the book.

  21. I 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

    Hooray! =)

  24. Jamie, you're very welcome! =)
    I love both Physical and Biology, and haven't decided which I like better.
    Happy to have been a blessing to you. =)

    1. Hello, Bree! Thanks for commenting. I am very sorry, but no, I won't be posting anything for Chemistry.
      My 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! =)

  27. 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?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Bree, 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. =)

  28. Mrs. 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:)

    1. Hello 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). =)
      The 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! =)

  29. 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

  31. If I've taken life science and physical science, do I still have to take biology?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That depends on the requirements for your state.
      By 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.

  32. PLEASE PLEASE consider making a Marine Biology resource. We LOVE IT!! It has been a life saver for us.

    1. Hello, Madison! I'm so sorry, but I only blogged about the subjects my kids were doing. We didn't do Marine Biology.
      But 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!
