Product Description:

The Student Textbook is available in a Christian Worldview version and a Secular version. Worth mentioning, content is marginally different (scripture references in the Christian Worldview version). Co-ops or classroom students could use the books concurrently with success. Lessons are expected to take one week to complete, with readings from 10-25 pages, so some lessons may need additional time to complete. Textbook readings are accompanied by lab activities. Labs are designed to be homeschool friendly and use household or easily found items. A sampling of lab experiences includes: osmosis with eggs and vegetables, creating a cell model, determining pH, and making butter and yogurt. You will need internet access for the Taxonomy activity. The Textbook includes space for documenting the lab activities although students may wish to make a science notebook. The author is in the process of developing video dissection labs; contact us for availability. No microscope is required for this course.

I was hoping to find a hs science that looked user friendly and that didn't have so much text to read.

does this include the access for videos they have for supplement?
A shopper on Jul 13, 2019
BEST ANSWER: The supplemental lesson videos are available at www.friendlybiology.com for an additional fee.
Does this book have answers in the back of it?
A shopper on Jul 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No, it is all textbook. The answers to the lesson activities in the "Student Workbook" are in another separate softcover book titled "Lesson Tests and Answer Keys." So, there are optimally 3 components to the course. The activity and answer key books are much less expensive than the text, however, and the activities are both interesting and helpful to the student.
Is this worth a full high school credit?
A shopper on May 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: According to the friendly biology website, yes. The text contains 28 chapters + there are two worksheets for each chapter in the student workbook + the labs (some are in the book but we supplement with others). Generally, all this takes us longer than one week for each chapter. My 9th grader is a good student but not very interested in biology.

Great choice
So far my daughter is on Chapter 3 and it has been great. Clear, concise, and understandable. I like the look of all the labs too - well thought out and creative. Very happy with this.

Student & Parent Friendly
Great high school-level textbook presentation--concepts and important terminology are well-explained (with good examples). Illustration and photography are nice. We use the "Friendly Biology" textbook to solidly discuss these concepts without the excessive detail and lengthy explanation sometimes found in other textbooks.

However, we do use labs from several different resources (other biology texts, online and virtual labs) to complement this resource.
