Well, over the last few months I believe that we are finally ready to embark on our biology full force. I have been working to come up with a plan that could involve everyone without being too much for my youngest two children.
What I have come up with should be keeping with Charlotte Mason methods. We are using Apologia Biology 2nd Edition. We are including the Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford Comstock for our nature additions to the biology. We will also be using a great deal of living books.
I am using ideas for including nature study from Handbook of Nature Study Blogspot. We are also using the Biology CD-Rom which has animations, videos, pronunciations and much, much more. I have also discovered another blog, called Homeschooler's Resources that has each module with links and lots of extras. Here is another great resource blog that is from a Co-op using Apologia Biology, which lists things according to each module.
I will be posting each module separately with resources for younger children also. I found a great resource that outlines what younger kids should be learning in science. I like the way that it is presented on this website: grades K-5 and grades 4-6. Here is cool website for kids for biology resources called Biology4kids.com.
