High School Biology: Apologia Resources

What's Schoolin'?

[Note: This is an unfinished draft but I'm posting it now because it looks like it will never be polished/posted if I wait!  I've moved on from teaching Biology classes and youngest Dd is using DIVE Biology along with an outside lab this year.  I'll be pulling in resources from these posts - which is what made me look for them and discover that many of the drafts were never posted!  Hopefully these will be helpful to others... ]


I am teaching Biology at a local homeschool enrichment program this year.  Ironically, I never intended to teach Biology to my own homeschoolers and my oldest children did it in a co-op.  Even more ironically, one is currently a Biology major in college :) [update: she graduated!].  Anyway, this post will be a place where I will post online support resources for my general Biology class.  We are using Apologia Biology 2nd Edition.

These schedules have been especially helpful in planning:

Donna Young Biology links (I still need to go through and see what I need):

Great blog with ideas and links for each module:

Quizlet has flash cards and quizzes for each module.  I find it easier to just google "apologia (the module) flash cards" than to search within quizlet.

Dissected Perch Cake, yes, really!  Needs rice crispy treats and fondant.
