Time4tea Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I am hoping to use this for our HS Biology. I was wondering what exactly is in the study guide portion of the DVD's....Booklist? Workbook pages? Experiments? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentancalann Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You can download a sample on the website. It is basically a schedule, reading material that goes with/summerizes the video, and quizzes. http://www.the101series.com/bio/contents.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4tea Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks, that was a huge help. I had purchased it from Amazon and did not know there was an actual website for the program. I am even more excited now. The lesson plans remind me of KONOS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 We started using this this year and my dd LOVES it. She was dead set against biology of any kind, having seen the big Apologia text on the shelf. But, when I started these videos and brought out the suggested books, she LOVES it. When she turns 16, I plan to have her take biology with labs at the CC, but this is giving her a great introduction and foundation for now.

jentancalann Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 We were able to get all our labs out of the way at the beginning of the school year in a 9 hr/day, 2 day class. They did dissections and everything. We are supposed to do lab reports throughout the year when we get to the experiments. I'll have to figure out how to do that with this program. The teacher assumed we'd be using something like Apologia and based the labs on that. Still, it is so nice to get them done at the beginning!

bobbeym Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think I like these DVDs. Is it truly inclusive enough to use as a standalone Biology course for a non-STEM, just-get-it-done student if you're following the guidebook?
