Re: Bee - recommended High School Biology course?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't know if this would work, given the time schedule and probably a lot of

other factors... My thoughts would be that any text book would be fine, but

instead of just reading and absorbing so you could test her, why not have her

look at it through a critical eye? Have her try to look up contradictions and

where the science just doesn't make sense. Perhaps that is too advanced for

her, though. I don't know...

It's wonderful that you home-school!

+++Hi ,

I wouldn't know what kind of biology courses are offered.

Thanks for the idea, . This is how my 5th grader and I are doing her

nutrition study this year: so much UNteaching to do! And that is what I told my

girls this morning, that they need to have this knowledge, this power, so they

are not sucked in to the mainstream lies...

So perhaps that is the route we will have to take.

Bee, I was just hoping you could direct us to certain books you appreciated,

learned from, etc. Perhaps too broad a topic...

+++Hi ,

I study Human Physiology, Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Microbiology, Medical,

etc. textbooks, which are too complex for most people to understand.

All the best, Bee

Why do you need a textbook to specifically teach nutrition? Read Dr.

Price's book. There is much in Sally Fallon's, " Nourishing Traditions "

cookbook to read too. Then there is learning by doing, meaning learning

what is proper nutrition by what is cooked and eaten at home. I too

homeschool, and my feeling is that the best learning comes by living and

doing, reading good quality books, and not relying on a compromised set of

ideas put into a textbook.

I was a biology major and from my expierence Biology books are very

good.

+++Hi there,

You need to read the reason in the previous posts. A Mother was asking about a

good biology course for her daughter.

You are so right, Rita, but DD is going in to 10th grade and at this time we

need to have something 'acceptable' in order to earn a credit; blah, eh?

Celeste - thanks for your suggestion! I'll look in to it.

No problem.  I studied the one with the flower on it.  It goes over a lot of

great stuff!! It may be two in depth for a 10th grader but then again I wish

somone would of showed me this biology book when I was that young!  I used it

for two very hard biology courses so it should last you a while to go through

the whole thing!

Hi all,

Is anyone in this group homeschooling an only child.

My son is an only child and I've considered homeschooling. But not sure if that

would be a good option socially.

My son is quite intelligent, love social interaction and gets a real kick out of

school lessons, all the technology used in schools these days.

When I run by the homeschooling option with him, he doesn't seem keen at all.

Ideas?

Blessings,
