What are my biology science options (5th and 8th grade combined)

[MOHeather]

I have a rising 5th and 8th grader. I am looking into my options for combining them for biology science this year.

 

They both really want to study the human body in-depth!

 

My youngest has been doing Apologia elementary science books for the past few years and living books/interest-led topics before that.

 

My older student has recently done Bob Jones Earth Science and before that Bob Jones Life Science. We don't want to start Physical Science until 9th grade.  So....

 

What are my options for combining these two? I've just learned about Elemental Science.  It looks good but my concern is the reading primary is from encyclopedia spines. Maybe that will be a fun change for them? But definitely different than they are used to with traditional textbooks.

 

I'd love to hear about other curriculum you've used and would recommend for studying biology in the logic stage?

 

Thanks so much!

Thank you both!

Apologia anatomy is pretty advanced and I think would be a great option for combining those two ages. I really wanted to do it this year but my dd was ready to move on to the Wile books
