Biology
for the Logic Stage
from Elemental Science takes middle school students into a deeper study of
cells, ecology, plants, animals and the human body through engaging
encyclopedias, hands-on experiments and activities, and organized notebooking.
The course is 36 weeks, with the option of either a 2 Day or 5 Day/week
schedule. Independent student learning is the goal, with parents guiding and
not doing the direct teaching. Required for the course are the Biology for the Logic Stage Student Guide, Biology for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide, and the Spine Resources. A science fair project is also
scheduled in week 5. Numerous optional resources are suggested, including other
encyclopedias or dictionaries, a 40-400x microscope, slides/coverslips, and
dissection specimens and tools. These are not required for student success,
rather they provide additional activities for students to explore a given topic
on a deeper level. Parents may choose to use any or all of these to meet
individual student needs.
