busymama7 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We are studying biology this year. I am looking for books I can read aloud or the kids can read to themselves. Factual is ok but I do have spines and programs so I am also looking for things like biographies and fiction books that naturally incorporate biology topics. I posted on this board as i am specifically looking for this age group but one of my high schoolers is also doing biology this year so if you have something for that age as well feel free to share :) Thanks!

Jackie Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The Scientist in the Field series is amazing. Many (most?) of the scientists and work profiled is related to biology. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icesk8abc Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Wicked Plants and Wicked Bugs both by Amy Stewart are fun and informative. They are written as literary nonfiction. Excerpts can be found on her website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anabelneri Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My kids really liked the Quark Chronicles books. They have Botany, Zoology, and Anatomy available, which suits someone looking for biology quite well. They liked Quark a lot better than Sassafras. There's some marine biology incorporated in Of Fish And Friends, and the main characters are homeschooled. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
