    Ahh.. I've been wondering about those biology coloring books! So your son liked the one he used? On your nature study section above, you've mentioned growing pea plants. Can you please explain a bit more as to what you did with the pea plants in order to learn about genetics?

    We grew peas just as a fun way to tie our garden in with our biology study. I think I noted above that it was just for fun. I did find this link but we have not done it in our family. We grew peas and looked at the peas as an observation exercise. http://www.ehow.com/way_5448204_pea-plant-experiments.html

    Great lens. We used Exploring Creation with Biology but did not see this lens or think to do nature studies along with it. Squid Angel blessings!

    This is great. Biology does go beyond the textbook as you rightly point out.

    My oldest son is using this biology this year. I'll have to refer back to some of your suggestions here. Thanks. Great lens. :)

    Thanks so much for including Mindful Ramblings in your links! Love how you've combined Charlotte Mason's ideas with Apologia Biology.

    What a great lens! I loved your list of ideas for nature study and living books to go along with this book.

    My two oldest boys have been working on biology. They are having a great time with all the experiments and observations. One of their homeschool friends has been joining them for the labs, and now that they have started the dissections, my oldest daughter and their friend's sister have also joined in. While I do like the living books approach, I have found that some of my children would rather just get the information in a distilled "textbook" form. I think Apologia does a good job of engaging children with various learning styles. I love that they make it possible for me to give my science loving children the type of lab experiences they would get in a traditional school.

    We prefer living books, too, but a local homeschool co-op is using Apologia for biology next year and we are considering what we should choose. Thanks for your information! :D

    Thank you for your information. My son is wanting to use the "living books" method of learning for biology this year. We are new to CM methods of homeschooling. I have a senior, 10th grader, 8th grader, and 5th grader and have been homeschooling the entire time using only textbooks until the beginning of this year. Would you be able to tell me or give me a list to go with those grades for science.
    As far as the biology is concerned, did you read the info. in the textbook and then the extra reading and labs? How did you do it?
    We are starting school in 1.5 weeks and don't know how to get this right with Science.
    I wanted to email you but couldn't find your address.
    Thank you. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

    I've heard lots of good things about Apologia. We use Noeo now, but at higher levels I imagine we'll switch over. Great resource and glad to have it in the CM group!
