Kristie4 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 First off, even though Apologia is not my favourite, said I would never use it, etc. we are using it for a variety of reasons. But I do have a very bright daughter who is working on the course and finding it a little too breezy. I am looking for any ideas on how to beef up the course: adding things into modules, subbing out modules with something more comprehensive etc. Any ideas??? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 maybe using the DIVE CD course would help? http://www.diveintom...ogy-10th-grade/ it takes Biology I and Advanced Biology from Apologia and does them both in year... and encourages CLEP or AP study too (edit to clarify after the post below... parts of Advanced text, not all of it... I was just typing fast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristie4 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hmmm....Doesn't it just do part of the Advanced book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 you're right. I typed too quickly (dh had just come home, so I was getting a hug)..... I meant to say Biology and parts of Advanced. (I should edit that.. sorry) and then there's the credit by exam study with it. Here's the syllabus. https://store-a78f1.mybigcommerce.com/content/syllabi/ApoloBio_2nd+HB_1st.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristie4 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 That looks good but I will have to see- always have to check the accent of the instructor (my Canadian kids are picky!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckive6 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi, My DD is doing Apologia Biology with our co-op but she wanted something more in depth. We tried adding Red Wagon Tutorials (cd-rom), and I think it is pretty good. There are lectures for each chapter, reviews, tests, etc, using the same book. She still wanted more, so now she reads the Campbell Reece Biology 6th edition. We've had to rearrange the chapters to match up with Apologia. We also purchased the online resources, only $30. It is used the AP and is much more indepth. Hope that helps!
