staceyobu Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I may offer to do the biology labs for a handful of 9th graders in our co-op next year. I've been looking at the Illustrated Guide to Home Biology Experiments. At first glance, it looks really complicated. Once I get going with it, will it be easy to implement? Are there any other options I should consider? I'm considering using the CK12 text because Guest Hollow has the option to leave out the evolution topics, but other families could include them if they desire.

Reefgazer Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The best text I've seen for pick-and-choose biology labs is Pendarvis and Crawley, here: https://www.amazon.com/Exploring-Biology-Laboratory-Pendarvis-2011-02-01/dp/B01MY26KE5/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=pendarvis+and+crawley+biology&qid=1551563226&s=gateway&sr=8-4 I use this for my homeschool biology labs; nearly limitless lab options.

lmrich Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 You can do it. I use the guide with middle school students. Our favorite labs (can't recall if they are in that guide, but you can easily google these) Dragon baby lab (learning genetics), extrracting DNA, flower dissection, all dissections, Starburst energy lab, protist lab, spreading the virus lab (you order a starch for the water - this works best with lots of kids - I ask more students to join us), and the tissue lab.
